As I recall from our discussion of Wolfram, it is possible for these
biker gangs of Pontus to switch language as the swelling of their
ranks demanded it, right? So that the Getae might have switched to a
Bastarnian lingua Franca as they moved from Moesia to the Don, as
Jordanes claims? A refutation here again would be the Getae and Goths
documented in the same space and time.
