Cities of Khazaria. Kromos Estatium

Samkarsh khazarien **
     Perhaps Samkush, can be Samkertz by Novoseltsev.
     Ibn al-Faqih in 903 tells about slavic merchants, but not about russians, as in Ibn Khordadbeh, but about those who went from the slavic outskirts, apparently along the Dnieper, to the Rumian sea, apparently through the city of Saks at the river rapids, where they pay a fee to nomads. From there they arrive by sea to the city of Samkarsh, where the khazar jews rule, who take tithes from merchants in favor of the king of the khazars, and only then sell everything in Djurjan.
     Researchers consider Samkarsh city to be khazar and identify it with Tamatarkha.
     But it would be more likely to be located on the Don, on the Semikarakorsky settlement of the saltov-mayatsk culture. Moreover, you can get to Djurdjania on merchant ships only through the Don and the transfer to the Volga, and from there to the Caspian.
