[tied] RE:Re: Help with ban_Banat

 Thus when the Greeks began to suffer

from the raids, the Slavs were under the yoke of the Avars; and, probably,
it was for this reoson that their Greek names (ie Sklavenoi, Sthavenoi,
Sklavoi, Slavoi, Sthlavoi) came to denote, much later, the status of

slavery.

I doubt it. The heavy Byzantine trade in slavic slaves is a much likelier suspect.
