[gothic-l] Re: Goths Primodial Deed: to Keth

[andreas.schwarcz at UNIVIE.AC.AT]

The relevant passage is Herwig Wolfram, Die Goten, 3rd ed., p.33 
with note 38. My esteemed teacher, who is indeed one of the 
foremost scholars in the field, of course cites the relevant sources 
and gives here Jordanes, Getica, 25 and 94 f. and his own 
introduction to "Typen der Ethnogenese"(vol.1, Wien 1990, p.26)     
as further literature. There he also cites Jordanes, Getica, 313, and 
here you will find that Jordanes gives the duration of the Gothic 
kingship with 2030 years, ending in 540 AD with the capitulation of 
Witigis:
Et sic famosum regnum fortissimamque gentem diu regnantem 
tandem pene duomillesimo et tricesimo anno victor gentium 
diversarum Iustinianus imperator per fidelissimum consulem vicit 
Belesarium, et perductum Vitiges Constantinopolim patricii honore 
donavit.
