metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The “tolkoviny” mentioned in “The Tale of Bygone Years” (“Povest’ Vremennych Let”) about
  Oleg’s campaign against the Greeks in 907, can be taken as a characteristic given by the chronicler
  to the participants of the campaign. It is not clear who this characteristic applies to, although
  there is a tendency to apply it to the Tivertsy. There is extensive scholarship devoted
  to the meaning of the word “tolkoviny”. There are many options offered. The most common
  meaning is “allies” or “translators” (currently the latter is considered preferable). In the context
  of the information about the relationship between the Rus’ and the Slavs in the famous work
  of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, it can be suggested that the chronicle sheds a new light on
  the nature of these relations. Meanwhile, the word “tolkoviny” is unique. Besides the story
  about the campaign of Oleg in the chronicle, a similar word is used only in the “Igor’ Tale”. The
  author of the article suggests that the search for the meaning of the word “tolkoviny” should
  be stopped, and it should be admitted that there is an error in the text made in the early chronicles,
  and then repeated many times later. Instead of “tolkoviny” in the original source, the
  explanatory word “tolkovaniye” was inserted somewhere, which got into the main text in the
  process of rewriting. The purpose of the phrase inserted after the list of the Slavs-participants
  of the campaign of Oleg, (without “tolkoviny”) was simply to draw the reader’s attention to
  how the Greeks called part of the Slavs “Great Scythia”.
