[gothic-l] Eruli personal names

[Bertil Haggman]

Connecting to the earlier bringing up of Suartuas on the list,
the Eruli royal name, I am turning to a few lesser
known Eruli names mentioned in Procopius
_History of the Wars_. Etymological comments
gratefully received.

Aluith, Erulian commander: VI, 13:18
 
Phanitheus, Erulian commander, VI, 17:1
 
Visandus, Erulian commander VII, 1:35

Aluith – a commentary

Probably connected to the Skilfing King Alrek (short form Alle). In Goeinge, Scania province, according to popular myth King Alle ruled at the bottom of the Ivoe Lake from his castle Brattingsborg.
