Is this some kind of joke? An article with no references whatsoever, 
written by who know who with an agenda that's extremely easy to discern.
Is this what p***** as proof in FYROM? Figures....

Peu après j’arrivai à Phéropoly,73 capitale de la Macédoine, et bâtie 
par le roi Philippe. Elle est sur la Marisce, dans une grande plaine et 
un excellent pays, où l’on trouve toutes sortes de vivres et à bon 
compte. Ce fut jadis une ville considérable, et elle l’est encore. Elle 
renferme trois montagnes, dont deux sont à une extrémité vers le midi, 
et l’autre au centre. Sur celle-ci étoit construit un grand château en 
forme de croissant allongé; mais il a été détruit. On me montra 
l’emplacement du palais du roi Philippe, qu’on a de même démoli, et dont 
les murs subsistent encore.

Philippopoli est peuplée en grande partie de Bulgares qui tiennent la
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
loi Grégoise (qui suivent la religion Grecque).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For the non-French speakers, the author is saying that:

Philippopoli is inhabited mostly by BULGARS that live by Greek law (that 
follows from Greek religion)....Whatever that means.

At least he had this right, because this rich bourgeois really didn't 
know much about geography..

....scroll all the way down to reference 73 and it's there.

Glad to have been of assistance, Krater. And I sincerely do hope that 
this elucidates your true origins, Bulgar.

I'm sure that knowing this at this point, you wish you had never 
mentioned  de la Brocquière.  ;)
