[gothic-l] Re: Cotinos and Gothinos

[sunnytjatsingh]

Hi Valulfr, 

"Again, I find it interesting that the web-site you provided, 
translated by A.J.Church & W.J.Brodribb, renders "Cotini" 
as "Gothinos" (ch.43), and in (ch.44) "trans Lygios Gotones" is 
rendered correctly as "Beyond the Lygians dwell the Gothones". I 
wonder what would have motivated them to translate to two as 
Gothones."

Yes it is peculiar, and ironic that Rackus would make this same 
mistake


And I also noted the same translation by Gordon, Thomas on the 
Northvegr.org page:

"From the Gallic language spoken by the Gothinians, and from that of 
Pannonia by the Osians, it is manifest that neither of these people 
are Germans; as it is also from their bearing to pay tribute."
