I am mostly interested in it because according to some sources, about 300,000-500,000 were resettled in Thrace, Macedonia and Italy in the 4th century AD and the rest were slavicized and absorbed by the Proto-Slavs. It really throws the continuity argument of a lot of Balkan ethnicities into turmoil. Those Roman and Byzantine emperors and later the Ottoman sultans really messed up the admixture of the Balkans!
