very interesting.
getae is "our" usual form , of modern times I guess. Does
getae apears in greek plural too or there is just "geti"? I
remember about Hadrian and the text from Th. Mommsen regarding
the changes into army where Mommsen quoted something like:
"keltoi, kelitkos, getoi, getikos.."(about the language
allowed by romans to be used in the army)
