Hopefully someone else knows of such a link.  All I've found so far in<br>
an English translation [ <a href="http://libro.uca.edu/vcode/visigoths.htm">http://libro.<wbr>uca.edu/vcode/<wbr>visigoths.<wbr>htm</a> ]. <br>
'Comes scanciarum' is the title of an official given in the Lex<br>
Visigothorum.  Also one Egica is named as 'comes scanciarum et dux' in<br>
the Council of Toledo records for 683, possibly identical to the king<br>
Egica, who ruled 687-702 [<br>
<a href="http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/VANDALS,%20SUEVI,%20VISIGOTHS.htm">http://fmg.ac/<wbr>Projects/<wbr>MedLands/<wbr>VANDALS,%<wbr>20SUEVI,%<wbr>20VISIGOTHS.<wbr>htm</a> ]. <br>
The Gothic word may survive in Sp. escanciano, Port. escanção<br>
"cup-bearer" (Elcock: The Romance Languages, p. 222), although<br>
according to Elcock, "Gamillscheg and others" considered these to be<br>
later loans from Old French eschnaz (acc. eschanson) > Modern French<br>
échanson, from the Frankish cognate *skankjo.<br>
