If I remember correctly this term (a Latinized remnant of the old <br>
lingo) doesn't appear until late 7th century. I was looking for <br>
something more contemporary with the Regnum Tolosanum and/or <br>
Theodoric the Great, when Gothic is still spoken. I suppose andbahts <br>
is earlier still?<br>
