Interesting - where is this phrase found?  And what other Vandalic
texts are there from North Africa?  The only piece of Vandalic I
knew of was that 'let us eat and drink' phrase from a Roman poem
from Africa.

I was intrigued by the original posting which claimed Iceland was
settled by Herulians - which sounds like an extremely *unlikely*
theory to me, I must say - and I think it would be worth examining
on G-l.  Cheers.
