Line 96: − − '''Note C''': Nikola Ostojic wrote: ''"Constantine with a strong army, which amounted to some twenty thousand men in 1181 landed in a faraway part of the city and began to terrorise the island with fire and steel."'' I find the figure of ''twenty thousand men'' highly unlikely the island itself today has a population 16,182 inhabitants (2001).

The term Slav was first used by the Byzantines (i.e. Procopius-Byzantine scholar, Jordanes- 6th century Roman bureaucrat) and was recorded in the 6th century (cia. 550) in Greek. Slavic tribes invaded the region of Roman Dalmatia in the early Middle Ages. Prior to the arrival of the Slavs, Roman Dalmatia was mainly inhabited by a Roman Latin-Illyrian population.
