I am speaking about the mention of Valahs by Kekaumenos and Kenderos
Prophirogenetus in the X century felt no need to mention the distinct
group called valahs within the border of empire, 1 century later,
Kekaumenos seen a distinct group and named it.
I simply do not understand the perspective here generaly speaking. What
did happen in these 100 years that suddenly there was the need to
distinguish between "other" and a specialy group called "valahs". This
is what I meant.
