Abstract
The main goal in this article is to clarify the chronology of use and geographical frame of the term Sclavinia in Byzantine sources. The thesis argumented there is that term Sclavinia was not in regular or common use in VI – VIII centuries. The question of the only case of appearing of word Sclavinia in Theophylact History is discussed in light of later debate of it as noon or adjective in the science. The third possibility is also suggested that it can be
later interventions in the oldest Xth century manuscript from each all other depend. Special attention is paid to the way Sclavinia was used in Theophanes Chronography. By its comparison with Nicephorus Breve History and other sources conclusion is proposed that the term appeared after Nicephorus work was finished. In same time the names similar to Sclavinia also appeared in sources (Velzitia, Verzitia). Term was used intensively and as contemporary and current for territory of Central Balkan before 850, and in middle 10th for Slavic counties in Dalmatia. The last time term was used in XII century, but already with different meaning.
