Southern Dalmatia
In De Administrando Imperio, a work by Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos from around 950, the southern Dalmatia was ruled by Serbs, in small principalities (royal domains of the Serbian Principality) called Pagania, Zahumlje, Travunia and Duklja, settled by White Serbs.
Pagania was a minor duchy between Cetina and Neretva. The territories of Zahumlje and Travunia spread much further inland than the current borders of Dalmatia. Duklja (the roman Doclea) began south of Dubrovnik and spread down to the Skadar Lake.
Croatian Dalmatia was only to the north of Pagania, in the so-called Littoral Croatia, which had been settled by White Croats.

Famous quotes containing the word southern:
“There are many ways of discarding [books]. You can give them to friends,—or enemies,—or to associations or to poor Southern libraries. But the surest way is to lend them. Then they never come back to bother you.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862?–1942)
