Some older newsgroup posts from the 2000's. This one is pretty good because it references Najena, which later on seemed to have a ZEM of 130 (2003 data) but here is given as 80 (standard non-Kunark dungeon zone ZEM). Additionally there is a mention by the previous poster that ZEMs varied between 75 and 105:

The highest modifier I had heard of being proven was 80 (Ogre guards in
Najena). But anything is possible.
I'd like to see what the modifier in some of the Kunark dungeons is as
many of the MoBs there are tougher for their level and the Iksar have an
XP penalty. Wonder if they offset themselves.
Ahh well. That's a question for one of the "other" boards. Didn't mean to
get into it here.

ShowEQ data was very raw at this time and people were still digesting it and figuring things like ZEM out, so I would view Casey's posts as more authoritative where there's disagreement.
