[Footnote *: The Ogors or Varchonites, from Var. a river,
(obviously connected with the name Avar,) must not be
confounded with the Uigours, the eastern Turks, (v. Hammer,
Osmanische Geschichte, vol. i. p. 3,) who speak a language
the parent of the more modern Turkish dialects. Compare
Klaproth, page 121. They are the ancestors of the Usbeck
Turks. These Ogors were of the same Finnish race with the
Huns; and the 20,000 families which fled towards the west,
after the Turkish invasion, were of the same race with those
which remained to the east of the Volga, the true Avars of
Theophy fact. - M.]
