Somebody in this listings mentioned Goths under Bulgarian rule in the
8th century. is there a possible connection? (how could they have
survived 2-300years)did they convert to Orthodoxy or stay Arianic?

H. Wolfram, "Die Goten",  (if I'm not entirely wrong) wrote that they
were still there in the 10th century, how could that be possible if
it were only soldiers (no wifes, no farmers...)?

For both of them, is there more detailed literature than Wolfram,
where did he get his information (Byzantine?)?

...questions, questions, questions.....

Thanks again!
