Problem here is that they are directly related and belong to same group most
of them when one looks into who's named where and when. Dio Crysostomus
confirmed this in his book about the group, which unfortunatly is said to be
lost. Some Greek scholars have told me that there might be an examplar at
the island where only monks live. No matter what in many of his speaches Dio
confirms this when he refers to the two Geata/Goeta places he visited. One
along Donau, which is the same place the people from Östergötland did travel
to from Bronze Age. The other up in the north on an island in the Northern
Ocean..... that both is documented to have had mostly Goths living in them
from around 150 AD, earlier noted are noted by Sophists long before.

I hope you can wait until you had your answer no matter what. I am going
thru 340 pages in a manuscript and many hundred in the texts I read from
which I taken quotes and placed in two databases. My computer is old so I
can't have them in at the same time I am doing other present research. Thus
that it takes time.
