s. 115. What were the _Suevi_, with whom the Angles were connected by Tacitus? The most important facts to be known concerning them are, (1) that the general opinion is in favour of their having belonged to the _High_-German or Moeso-Gothic, division, rather than to the _Low_; (2) that their original locality either reached or lay beyond the Elbe; a locality, which, in the tenth century, was _Slavonic_, and which, in the opinion of the present writer, we have no reason to consider to have been other than Slavonic during the nine preceding ones. In other words, what applies to the Langobardi applies to the Suevi also. What the Suevi were, the Semnones were also, "Vetustissimos se nobilissimosque Suevorum Semnones memorant." Tac. Germ., 39. Speaking, too, of their great extension, he says, _centum pagi ab iis habitantur_.[15] Velleius states that there were Suevi on the west of the Middle Elbe, Ptolemy, that there were Suevi to the east of it, _i.e._, as far as the River Suebus (Oder?).--[Greek: Kai to ton Souebon ton Semnonon, hoitines diekousi meta ton Albin apo tou eiremenou merous] {67} (the middle Elbe) [Greek: pros anatolas mechri tou Souebou potamou].[16] In the letter of Theodeberht to the Emperor Justinian, we find the _North_-Suevians mentioned along with the Thuringians, as having been conquered by the Franks; "Subactis Thuringis ... _Norsavorum_ gentis nobis placata majestas colla subdidit."[16] s. 116. What were the _Werini_, with whom the Angles were connected in the _Leges Anglorum et Werinorum_? Without having any particular _data_ for connecting the Werini (Varni, [Greek: Ouarnoi]) with either the High-German, or the Moeso-Gothic divisions, there are in favour of their being Slavonic in locality, the same facts as applied to the Suevi and Langobardi, with the additional one, that the name probably exists at present in the River _Warnow_, of Mecklenburg Schwerin, at the mouth of which (Warnemunde) the town of Rostock stands. s. 117. What were the _Thuringians_, with whom the Angles are connected in the _Leges Anglorum_, &c.; Germanic in locality, and most probably allied to the Goths of Moesia in language. s. 118. Of the Reudigni, Eudoses, Nuithones, Suardones, and Aviones, too little is known in detail to make the details an inquiry of importance. Respecting them all, it may be said at once, that whatever may be the Germanic affinities involved in their connection with the Suevi, Langobardi, Angli, &c., they are traversed by the fact of their locality being in the tenth century Slavonic. s. 119. The last tribe which will be mentioned, is that of the _Angrarii_, most probably another form of the _Angrivarii_ of Tacitus, the name of the occupants of the valley of the Aller, the northern confluent of the Weser.
