He was not a historian. The "lingua getica" appears in a letter of him
because the francs wanted to have the language of God just in 3
languages: Greek, Latin and Hebraic". Now to the time of Chiril. Chiril
was born in 826 in Thesallonik. He is much earlier writing as Kenderos,
Kekaumenos or Chalcoccondiles. He was trying to spread the Christianity
and se spooked about several folks . So what is the problem with him for
not taking in account what he said?
