Hello Ingemar,

I already replied to Bertil clarifying that Hachmann did not at all
state that the Goths were known before 300BC. Please re-read pages 116
and in particular page 136, where Hachmann says that the quotes based
on Pytheas have to be dismissed and that Strabo is the first to have
mentioned the Goths. I think there is a general problem with the
interpretation of Hachmann, which leads to many mis-understandings.

cheers

Dirk
