******GK: The fact remains that Nestor/Sylvester
asserted that the Slavs originally dwelt on the Danube
in the area of Hungary and Bulgaria (as these were in
the 12th c.) We know this to be largely untrue, but we
are dealing here with "theories" developed ca. 1100 AD
in Kyiv. And these "theories" contended that
"Vlachs"(=Romans, Italians) conquered some of these
areas even prior to the mythical trip of the Apostle
Andrew up the Dnipro. And stayed there with the Slavs
until the advent of the Bulgarians (7th c.) and the
Hungarians (9th c.) The Hungarians are supposed to
have chased most of these Vlachs out of their land.
Not so the Bulgarians. We can conclude from this that
in the eyes of the Kyivan chroniclers of the early
12th century, there were at that time many Vlachs in
Bulgaria (they had not been "chased out") and very few
in Hungary (including, of course Transylvania). We
don't have to necessarily accept these chroniclers'
"theories" about the past, but we can't refute their
perception of the present (1113/1116 AD)******
