[Footnote 40: Among these colonies we may distinguish, 1.
The Chazars, or Cabari, who joined the Hungarians on their
march, (Constant. de Admin. Imp. c. 39, 40, p. 108, 109.) 2.
The Jazyges, Moravians, and Siculi, whom they found in the
land; the last were perhaps a remnant of the Huns of Attila,
and were intrusted with the guard of the borders. 3. The
Russians, who, like the Swiss in France, imparted a general
name to the royal porters. 4. The Bulgarians, whose chiefs
(A.D. 956) were invited, cum magna multitudine
Hismahelitarum. Had any of those Sclavonians embraced the
Mahometan religion? 5. The Bisseni and Cumans, a mixed
multitude of Patzinacites, Uzi, Chazars, &c., who had spread
to the Lower Danube. The last colony of 40,000 Cumans, A.D.
1239, was received and converted by the kings of Hungary,
who derived from that tribe a new regal appellation, (Pray,
