The author of this polemical note deals once more (see USS 9) with historian Ablabius whom Jordanes in his Getica qualified as descriptor gentis Gothorum. The author argues that new attempts made in recent years to identify this personage with any of the Ablabii mentioned in late antique sources are not convincing. He maintains as well that there is no solid ground for asserting that Ablabius wrote an extensive history of Goths or made use in his work of Gothic oral tradition.
