[gothic-l] Re: Gothic Calendar

[Francisc Czobor]

Hails Brian,

I have read somewhere that Friþareiks is the same as Frithigern, 
a Visigothic leader contemporary with Athanaric, but I'm not sure...
The passage quoted by you is referring (according to asource that I 
can not specify now, I don't remember) to a persecution of the 
Christian Goths by Athanaric. What was the involvement of Frithigern 
in this event, I don't know...
