Ostarrichi_The Origin of The Name Austria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Further proof of this structure of power is the fact that the diploma is couched in language almost word for word the same as that in a document from the year 973 concerning the transfer of landed property in Slovenia to the bishopric of Freising. |

| | How typical the name of Ostarrichi was for its time was borne out by the fact that it was used again only two years later in an imperial diploma dated 998. |
