ABSTRACT

When the Slav nation {sloven'sku zhe iazyku), as we have said, was living on the Danube, there came from Scythia, that is from the Kozars, those who are called Bolgars and they settled along the Danube and were oppressors of the Slavs (naselntsi Slovenom bysha). Then, the White Ugrians came and inherited the land of the Slavs for it was these Ugrians who began to be present during the time of the Emperor Heraclius while he was at war with the Persian Emperor, Khusraw. The Obri (Avars, PBG) were also present in those times, they were the ones who attacked the Emperor Heraclius and almost caught him. They waged successful war on the Slavs and tormented the Duleby who are Slavs, and raped their women ... After them came the Pechenegs, then the Black Ugrians passed by Kiev, later, during the time of Oleg.6
