I supposed that George missed the paragraph in which Nestor talks
about "Vallachians and Romans" as distinct entities so there is no
confusion between this 2 entities:
Nestor (1056 - 1136 AD) Chronicle:
"These lands contained numerous tribes such as Rus, Chud, Pechera,
Uhra, Lytva, Lethola, Mordva, Zmyhola, Merya, Muroma, Perm, Ves, Yam,
Kors, Lib. Further North, toward the Viking Sea (Baltic Sea) were ,
Wends, Goths, Lakhs, Prus and Chud. Upon that sea sat Vikings and
further West Japhet's domain extend up to England , then South up to
Italy, neighboring with Ham's lands. Thus Japhet's domain included
also Northmen, Anglo-Saxons, Galicians, Walachians and Romans."
Other paragraphes shows Walachians far North from the Danube
figthing with Slavs and forcing the Lakhs (Rom. 'Leshi') to migrate
to Visla river and other Slavs to Dnepr river (all this before 898
when Nestor talk about a common Wallachian & Slavic fight against
Hungarians)
Nestor (1056 - 1136 AD) Chronicle:
"When Walachians invaded those Slavs, they settled among them and
oppressed them. Then some of the Slavs migrated North, settled on
river Visla and called themselves Lakhs. Later they divided up into
Polans, Lutychs, Mazovshans and Pomoryans. Those who settled on river
Dnipro divided up into Polans (field people), Derevlans (wood people,
because they lived in forests), Drehovychs (between rivers Prypyat
and Dvina), Polochans (after river Polota, which flows into Dvina).
The Slavs who settled on lake Ilmen were called Slovens. They built a
city and called it Novhorod. Others settled on rivers Desna, Seym and
Sula called themselves Siveryans."
Another paragraph shows Vallachians (Romanians) fithing together
with the Slavs against Hungarians (around Kiev) in 898 BC.
Nestor (1056 - 1136 AD) Chronicle:
"In 6406 (898) Magyars, who fought against Slavs and Walachians,
marched past Kyiv on the hill, which nowdays is called Hungarian
Hill."
Only the Bests,
