Hi Le,
what makes you think that Goths came to North Africa (except as
retinue for a princess)? Are you talking about Vandals, maybe? They
did not set up city states, but created a kingom in the Roman
province surrounding Carthage. I am almost certain that no placenames
survive. In fact, only a handful of Vandalic words have been recorded
on artefacts in North Africa.
Cheers
Dirk
