I'm not sure that's what is meant there. S.a. 743 we
read about the arrival of Vlachs (Murlachi). And in
that connection are told about their organization
("fra li quali era uno capio supra tuti" (the Vlach
"Godfather"?(:=)) just kidding)
And then s.a. 744 we read about "homeni de Dogiu
Valasi". Why translate this as "Vlachian men from
Dacia" rather than "men of the leader ("Dogiu") of the
Vlachians"?
