the time of the Ostrogoth [Ostrogothic] king Germanarich (died in 375 or 376 AD), the Wends tribe was subject to him along with other Proto-Slavic tribes:
“These [Venets], as we have already told at the beginning of our exposition, – precisely when listing the tribes, – come from one root and are now known under three names: Venets, Antes, Sklavens. Although now, due to our sins, they rage everywhere, but then they all submitted to the authority of Germanarich.”
Some authors of the 19th century (for example, the Slavophile A.S. Khomyakov), referring, among other things, to the chronicler of the 12th century Helmold, who in his Slavic Chronicle writes: “Where Polonius ends, we come to the vast country of those Slavs who antiquities are called vandals, but now they are called vinits, or vines.”
Meanwhile, these three peoples occupied a single territory in the center of Europe and could be related to each other. Adriatic Veneti as early as the 2nd millennium BC. were connected with the southern Baltic region by the amber route. The Old Russian Chronicle The Tale of Bygone Years and medieval Lithuanian legends about Palemon connect the origin of their peoples with the Norik region, where the Illyrian Veneti lived:
“… After the division of the peoples, the sons of Shem took the eastern countries, and the sons of Ham took the southern countries, the Japheths took the west and northern countries. From the same 70 and 2, the Slavic people also originated, from the Japheth tribe – the so-called Noriks, which are the essence of the Slavs”. The legend about the formation of the Czech people, described in the book of Prokop Sloboda, also agrees with this: but not to everyone, as once from this Krapino area, according to the reckoning of Peter Codicilus and many others, in 278, a very noble nobleman Cech left with his brothers Lech and Russ, as well as with all his friends and family, due to the fact that they could no longer endure the great attacks and oppressions that the Romans did to them, and especially the commander of the Roman troops Aurelius, who guarded Illyria with an armed hand and so oppressed his family that Cech and his own revolted against him and brought him out of the living. And as a result, fearing the mighty hand of the Romans, he left Krapina, his fatherland. For 14 years he served with Salmanin, with the son of Tsirzipan, then the ruler and future leader of the Bohemian people …”
The content of this legend is fully consistent with the Roman chronicles, which tell of the uprising of Marcus Aurelius Caras in Noric and Retia in 282, as a result of which the rebels killed the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius Probes and the power passed to Kara. Indeed, the historian Jordan, in his work “On the Origin and Deeds of the Getae,” pointed out the identity between the Wends, Antes and Sklavins. In addition to Jordan, Latin writers of the 7th-8th centuries also identified the Wends with the Slavs: in the chronicle of Fredegar (7th century), the Wends (Winedos) are mentioned more than once in connection with the Slavs (Sclavos) in connection with the events of 623:
