is inorganic. An Old German *erul- would become *eorul- in West Saxon, and *earul- in Anglian. This is what we find in eatule for *earule. The Germanic ĕ is displaced by i in Gothic; v. Wright, 'Primer of the Gothic Language,' 1899, 64. This i became broken to e (written aí) before r and h; ibid. §65. Consequently, we need be at no loss to understand the form handed down by the Byzantine chronographer Georgius Syncellus (c. 800), namely (
Greek characters). Procopius (c. 535) wrote (Greek characters), and connected them with Langobards and Gautas. Zosimus (c. 450) connected them with the (Greek characters), and called them (Greek characters) also. Syncellus was describing the operations of the Emperor Gallienus against the Goths and their allies in Greece and Thrace in 267. Mamertinus the panegyrist praises the Emperor Maximianus for his vigour against the Eruli in 289, and gives us an important indication of the position of their homeland—i.e.., of Herulia—which Mr. Chambers, though he quotes the context, has not printed. Mamertinus tells us that the Gauls were threatened with ruin, not only by the Burgundiones and the Alemani, "sed et Chaviones Erulique, viribus primi barbarorum, locis ultimi. . . .in has prouincias irruissent." The Chaviones are the tribe that the critics of 'Widsith' suppose to have been known as "Eowas" (the Ewes). The Eruli, who lived farthest east, may well have been allied with the Gautas.
Now, all these authors, from Mamertinus in 289 to Syncellus in c. 800, spell the name of the Heruli with u or ov. Moreover, Hydatius Lemicensis (c. 460) tells us of the depredations committed in Cantabria by those "Eruli" who went thither in seven ships in 455. Sidonius Apollinaris (†487) describes them thus:—
Hic glaucis Herulus genis uagatur,
Imos Oceani colens recessus.
"The Herul dwelling in the most distant recesses of the ocean" recalls the statement made 200 years earlier by Mamertinus, who regarded the Chaviones and the Eruli as the most distant of (Germanic) barbarians in his time.
In the poem Widsith appears "eastan, of Ongle" (from the East, from Onglia). He is accompanied by the Herulian princess whose people were living "imos oceani recessūs," and whom he was escorting "locis ultimi(s) [Germanicis]" into the "ēthel Gōtena" on the west of the Elbe.
