The Slavonic district Quezici in the light of place names. ‒ The Slavonic
district Quezici is mentioned for the first time in a document by Otto I,
dated 961, as regio Quezici, in qua inest civitas Ilburg. Past linguistic research
localized this district as a narrow strip of land beginning on the left bank of
the Mulde river in the vicinity of Eilenburg which extended ca. 15 km to the
north. The analysis and mapping of the Slavonic place names in the Eilenburg
district revealed a clearly definable settlement area farther south. It extended
from Taucha in the west to Müglenz, east of the Mulde. In the west it bordered
on the pagus Chutici, in the north on the tribal area of the Siusili, in the south
on the district Neletici. In the east a wide primeval forest belt separated the
Quezici, Old Sorbian *Kvasici ‘Kvas people’, from the Slavonic tribes in the
Elbe valley.
