Berziti

The Berziti (Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian: Берзити; Greek: Βερζῆτες, romanized: Berzites) were a South Slavic tribe that settled in Byzantine Macedonia in the 7th century AD with the Slavic invasion of the Balkans. The Berziti settled in the vicinity of Lychnidos (Ohrid).^[1] One part of the same tribe settled in Brest, Belarus, while another, moved south into the Balkans.^[2]
