This brief but rather stunning statement and find summarizes and lets us know the following simple truths:

- The Greeks, referenced in the statement, are simply Armani (Vlachs = Romaioi) who indeed called their country Armania (or Romania).
- The Armani-Vlachs, or more accurately a small segment of its population (namely, the Elite – in all aspects of society) spoke Greek in addition to Vlachika, long before the arrival of the Ottoman Turks. They were bilingual.
- Modern Greeks = Armani (Vlachs) = Romaioi
- Byzantium was called Armania.
