 Uar
According to Theophylaktos Simokattes, Uar, along with the Hunnoi, are the names associated with the two biggest tribes of "Procopius's White Huns".
They were called Varkhon or Varkunites (Ouarkhonitai) by Menander, perhaps inspired by the name of the God Vulcan, and settled Europe in the Balkans and Pannonia.
They are supposed to have united around 460 under the rule of one of the five Yuezhi families - the Hephthal.

According to Theophylaktos Simokattes, Uar (滑 Hua), along with the Hunnoi (混夷 Gun-i), are the names associated with the two biggest tribes of "Procopius's White Huns".
They were called Varkhon or Varkunites (OuarKhonitai) by Menander Protector, after whom the Balkan mountains were named (by sheer coincidence the mythical home of the God Vulcan), where they settled Europe along with Pannonia and Transylvania.

Procopius called them "White Huns" while Simokattes calls them Uar (reminicient of their own self designation) and identifies them as the "real" Avars of the east and the true political force behind what he calls the "pseudo" Avars who eventually settled down in Transylvania.
It has been said that their legendary ancestor was Afrasiabus in whose name we can perhaps see some kind of connection to the Avar ethnicon.
According to Simokattes, Alchoni were also a part of their composition having united under the Yoptal with the "vulturous" Uar around 460.

Simokattes's term Uar (also sometimes written War or Var) is quite reminicient of the Hephthalite's self designation Hua according to the Chinese classic Liang chih-kung-t'u and are identified as the "true" Avars of the east and the true political force behind what he calls the "pseudo" Avars who eventually settled down in Transylvania.

 Origins of the Serb People
The term Rouran (柔然) was a Chinese language transcription of the pronunciation of the name the confederacy used to refer to itself.
However, the Turkish identity of the founders of the European Avar Khanate become much more definite as the researches are carried out on a much more extensive basis.
Simokattes (2nd quarter of the 7th century) had stated that a group composed of nearly 20 thousands of people immigrated to the west pursuant to the abolition of the Ju-an-Juan State in Mongolia (in the beginning of the 4th century- 552/555) by the Gok-Turk State.

 Byzantine Literature
Significantly enough, Procopius and to a great degree his continuator, Agathias remain the models of descriptive style, even as late as the eleventh century.
Procopius is the first representative of the over-laden, over-ornamented Byzantine style in literature and in this is surpassed only by Theophylaktos Simokattes in the seventh century, while others continued to imitate the historian of the Gothic War.
In spite of their unclassical form, however, they approach the ancients in their freedom from ecclesiastical and dogmatic tendencies.

 Heberite
Then we have the Iberes & the 4thC.BC Transcaucasian Iberia while Strabo (1st century) dealt with "Abar-noi" people in his work using the name "Abaris" in combination with Greek legends.
Of course the Avars of Priskos should be mentioned especially considering their connection to "Hebrew" (thus perhaps originally Heberite) artefacts which subsequently, thanks to Simokattes, connects them with the Hephthalites and their legendary 1100 BC ancestor Afrasiab the king of all Turs mentioned in the Shahnameh by Ferdowsi.
Strabo and the Armenian tradition that the Parthian Arsaces descended from White Huns remind us of the Parni.

 Banat's Historical Chronology for the First Millennium A.D.
the first certification of the slavs in Banat [Theophylaktos Simokattes, Historiae, VI, 3-4].
Another source [contemporary Theophylaktos Simokattes] mention 17200 prisoners: 3000 avars, 8000 sclavini, and 6200 "other barbarians" [probably gepidae, kutrigur, etc.].
Because we do not know anything about the ethnicity of these "other barbarians", suppositions like "Latin presence in the Banat is almost inexistent" are just wild assumptions without any historical background.
