As per scans/source provided months ago on this forum:
- Thessaly used to be called 'Great Vlachia' or 'Megali Vlachia',
with the capital Larissa.
- The Chronicle of Epirus refers to 'Great Vlachia' as 'Greco-Vlachia'.
- 'Great Vlachia' was a strong state during the decades of its ruler 'Jovan I', which was between 1258 and 1296.
- This Vlach state was under frequent attacks from Serbian rulers, as even the archbishop Danilo* noted - how king Milutin went with his army in order to conquer and plunder "drzhavu zemlye Vlahiotske".
The fact that Serbian sources refer to these lands as
"drzhavu zemlye Vlahiotske" says it all.

... Les Magnotes, qui ont conserve encore le souvenir d'une invasion Geto-Thrace, en designant tous les Peloponnesiens tant ceux qui habitent au-dela de Sparte, que ceux qui s'etendent vers Calamata, sous le nom
de Valaques (οι Βλάχοι).
... The Maniates, who still retain the memory of a Geto-Thracian invasion, by designating all the Peloponnesians both those who live beyond Sparta, and those who extend to Calamata, under the name of Vlachs.
Let's not forget the Peloponnesian traditional song
"Mia Vlacha Vlachopoula, Arvanitopoula..."

The Mardaites or Tzaconiens, rugged warriors who, from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries, appear in Epirus, Cephalonia, Thessaly, Peloponnese, and Crete; Chalkokondyles and Bishop Meletios say they come from the Pindus mountains.
