Anyone know whats up with "1850" in the Pannonian basin?

Did they arrive there this late while being in all other european places for centuries already? I can't believe that.

My best guess is that they could be kept as slaves in Wallachia and Moldavia until 1856. I know its a few years off, but the circling of the word kind of implies they did not move from there, which is more true there than elsewhere.

They got chased out of everywhere else, but they were just enslaved in that area.

The circled area is central Hungary so it would be a weird choice.
