Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Expand Dutch Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang (Latin for "On banquets of barbarians" or "On barbarian guests") is an epigram preserved in the Шаблон:Lang (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Codex Parisinus Latinus, 10318) of the Latin Anthology, copied in Italy Шаблон:C. 800 AD.[1] It is noted for containing a few words in a Germanic language that historians believe to be Gothic or Vandalic: in either case, this makes it a rare attestation of East Germanic from late antiquity.[2][3]

Origins and language

The poem's date of composition is unknown, but postulated to be penned between the sixth and eighth century AD.[4] Although the text states that it is referring to Goths per se, several features mark the Germanic words as Vandalic, and it is likely that the text simply uses the term 'Gothic' loosely: correspondingly, Procopius refers to the Goths, Vandals, Visigoths, and Gepids as "Gothic nations" and opines that they "are all of the Arian faith, and have one language called Gothic".[5][6][7]

Text

Translation of the Germanic words in the epigram is disputed, but the text means something like:[8]
