Hello,

I have a question: Which contemporary Gothic words (in sense of: 
referring to the 4th/5th century) are known? And which reconstrutions 
have been undertaken, if at all?
What I have in mind are:

-geographical names:
towns: Marcianopolis, Adrianopolis, Constantinopolis, Ravenna, Rome 
etc.
regions: Thrace, Greece, Italy, Roman Empire (western/eastern) etc.
waters: Danube, Black Sea etc.

-peoples:
Heruli, Huns, Alans, Romans etc.
I have only found the attested _Kreks_ 'Greek' (Gal.2:3)

-personal names:
the emperors Valens and Gratian, Lupicinus (governor of Thrace at the 
time the Goths were settled there) etc.
