ZACHLUMS

Remember the story about how the "Serbs" who are recorded in the "Primary Chronicle" as "Serebi", which corresponds to the Georgian word "serebi" - "hills"? At that time, I told why it is the Serbs who are associated with hills. Now Constantine Porphyrogenitus writes the following:

"...present-day Serbia, the so-called "country of the Zachlums"... The word "zakhlum" is traditionally interpreted as "behind the hill..." ("за холмом").
