[edit] Removed quote

In the 7th century, in the Acts of Saint Demetrius, it is related how the Avar Khan deported from Illyricum to Smirnium, in Pannonia 270,000 people "that followed the Roman tradition" and they might be the ancestors of Romanians.

I removed this quote because it seems the source is a bit ambiguous on the geographical notions and I am not sure whether this interpretation of the text is the right one, so I'll have to check the direct source. Bogdan | Talk 21:20, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

BTW, if anybody can find the original text, It would be nice to paste it here. Bogdan | Talk 21:21, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The Byzantine writer Cecaumenos, in his Strategicon of 1066 wrote that the Vlachs of Epirus and Thessalia came from North of the Danube and from along the Sava and that they were the descendants of the Dacians and the Bessi. Cecaumenos mentions only the Bessi.He did not write anything about Dacians.

[edit] Good layout

Good article with nice use of headings!. One of the few Im afraid.--Light current 20:03, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
