with respect to Old Saxony.--Forst.

[34] AEfeldan are, as King Alfred calls them, Wolds or Wilds; as there
still are in the middle of Jutland, large high moors, covered only
with heath.--Forst.

[35] Wineda-land, the land of the Wends, Vandals, or Wendian Scalvi in
Mecklenburg and Pomerania; so called from _Wanda_ or _Woda_,
signifying the sea or water. They were likewise called Pomeranians for
the same reason, from _po moriu_, or the people by the sea side.
--Forst.

[36] In this Alfred seems to have committed a mistake, or to have made too
great a leap. There is a Syssel, however, in the country of the Wends,
on the Baltic, which connects them with the Moravians, or rather with
the Delamensan, of whom mention is made afterwards.--Forst.

[57] The Moravians, so called from the river Morava, at that time a
powerful kingdom, governed by Swatopluk, and of much greater extent
than modern Moravia.--Forst.

[38] Carendre must be Carinthia, or the country of the Carenders or
Centani, which then included Austria and Styria.--Forst.

[39] Barrington has erroneously translated this, "to the eastward of
Carendre country, and beyond the _west_ part is Bulgaria." But in
the original Anglo-Saxon, it is _beyond the wastes_, or desert,
which had been occasioned by the devastations of Charlemain in the
country of the Avari.--Forst.
