Dioclea in De administrando imperio

Summary/Abstract: In his work De administrando imperio, the Byzantine emperor and writer Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos gives scattered accounts of the Slavic Principality of Dioclea. The chapter 35 of this work is completely devoted to the subject of Dioclea, and was written on the basis of the same sources under which the chapters dealing with Dalmatia and Serbia were also constructed. The account given by an anonymous author referring to the Dioclea’s borders can be traced back in the chapter 30.The purpose of this analysis is to re-read the Dioclea’s news found in the De administrando imperio, and, if possible, get it specified on the basis of those new findings.
