The Serboi were probably Sarmatian (Iranian) tribe, who lived in Eastern Europe, to the north of the Caucasus near the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. The earliest historical records about Serboi dates from the 1st century, in the works of the historian Tacitus and geographer Pliny. The Sarmatian Serbs, it is argued, intermarried with the indigenous Slavs of the region, adopted their language and transferred their name to the Slavs. The Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos, in his Book Of Ceremonies66, calls the Croats and Serbs "Krevatas and Sarban", who were located between Alania and Tsanaria. The information that Serbs were mentioned under the name Sarban is important because there is a Pashtun tribal group in Afghanistan named Sarbans, and that could mean that these Pashtun Sarbans are ancestors or relatives of Sarmatian Serbs.
What do you believe??
