There is an indirect evidence that the Christian Ostrogoths claimed 
themselves from Arius:
among the Bavarian words considered to be introduced by the Gothic 
mission (VIth century) is: O. Bav. erintag (Mod. Bav. Ergetag, 
Erchtag, Ertag) "Tuesday" < OHG *Ariótag < Go. *Arjaus dags < Gk. 
Areo:s (he:mera) "day of Ares", reinterpreted by the Arians as "day 
of Arius" (otherwise Christians would not keep the name of a pagan 
god). The sources for the Gothic words in Bavarian I presented in my 
message to Gothic-L No. 2225 ("Gothic and Old Bavarian").
