JORDANES
 THE ORIGIN AND DEEDS OF THE GOTHS
translated by Charles C. Mierow

Introductory Note

Jordanes, as he himself tells us a couple of times, was of Gothic descent and wrote this work as a summary of Cassiodorus' much longer treatment of the history of the Goths. Because Cassiodorus' book no longer survives, Jordanes' treatment is often our only source for some of the Gothic history it describes. He wrote the Getica during the later stages of the reign of Justinian, not too long after the demise of the Ostrogothic kingdom in Italy.

Introductory Note

Priscus, born at Panium in Thrace, probably quite early in the fifth century, wrote a history in eight books, but of that total, only fragments survive. The fragment presented here details a visit in 448 by Priscus himself to the court of Attila and offers a picture of the Huns that differs markedly from other sources; it is therefore valuable for a number of different reasons. Fragment 8 (in the numeration of Müller, Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum, IV) is a long fragment, only partly translated by Bury. A complete translation and Greek text of Priscus, including this and other fragments, by R. Blockley is available in his The Fragmentary Classicising Historians of the Later Roman Empire, Vol. II, where the fragments are numbered differently (Blockley, fr. 11,2; 12,1; 13,1; 13,3; 14; 15,1 = Müller, fr. 8, but not all of the fragment is included here).
