It's at the beginning of book XXIV, in relation to the origin of the Hunns:

" ... nam hos, ut refert antiquitas, ita extitisse conperimus, Filimer rex
Gothorum et Gadarici magni filius qui post egressu Scandzae insulae iam
quinto loco tenens principatum Getarum, qui et terras Scythicas cum sua gente
introisse superius a nobis dictum est, repperit in populo suo quasdam magas
mulieres, quas patrio sermone Haliurunnas is ipse cognominat, easque habens
suspectas de medio sui proturbat longeque ab exercitu suo fugatas in
solitudinem coegit errare. "

Try searching under the keyword "witch"
    Note especially http://www.egroups.com/message/gothic-l/2605 , which had
(somehow) escaped even my notice. This should save us from retreading
territory alright!

if I am re-treading territory. I am sure that I am about to re-tread

speak? >>

Koebler, Gerhard _Really Damn Big Gothic Dictionary That You Really Wish You
Owned._ This book has EVERYTHING! He tries to reconstruct every Gothic word
mentioned in classical sources too.
