This paper shows that Iord. Get. 68 is taken from Eutr. Brev. 6.17.3.

Abstract
This paper shows that Iord. Get. 68 is taken from Eutr. Brev. 6.17.3. The intertextuality allows to understand the reason why Tiberius is called Gaius Tiberius, a reading which has been accepted by Mommsen (1882), but refused by Grillone (2017). This (wrong) onomastic pair comes from the Breviarium, since Gaius Tiberius can be found in two manuscripts in the sentence which was copied by Get. 68, therefore the reading should not be corrected in modern editions of the Getica. Moreover, a brief comparison with Cassiodorus and with other passages of the Getica indicates that Iordanes almost certainly took this passage from the lost Gothic History of Cassiodorus.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
