FYROM

So what is the adjective form?

[Verginius Rufus]

Pella and Verghina are two different places. Verghina (ancient Aegae) is where Andronikos found a tomb which he identified as that of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. That is still disputed...probably most scholars accept it, but some argue that the tomb is later and is more likely the tomb of Philip Arrhidaeus, Alexander’s half-brother. Alexander, of course, was buried in Alexandria.

The Greeks cleansed a lot of “Slavs” from Macedonia, Greece, didn’t they?
