Hi Piotr,
According to Pliny�s Book 37 Pytheas does mention the Guiones (which at least Pliny takes) as "a Germanic people" and the same seems to apply to the neighbours of the Guiones, namely, the Teutoni.
Cheers, Juha

I remember a reference to "Teutons" -- who might have been
pre-Germanic or Celtic (if either) equally well, since *teut-o:n- is
not a formation unique to Germanic, but what about Gotones and
Ingvaeones? Are you sure Pytheas mentions any names like these?
