| The earliest coherent Germanic text preserved is the 4th century Gothic translation of the New Testament by Ulfilas. |
|
| Philostorgius, to whom we are indebted for much important information about Ulfilas, was a Cappadocian. |
|
| He knew that the ancestors of Ulfilas had also come from Cappadocia, a region with which the Gothic community had always maintained close ties. |
|
| It is possible to determine more or less exactly how the Gothic of Ulfilas was pronounced, primarily through comparative phonetic reconstruction. |
|
| The letter of Arian Auxentius regarding the Arian missionary Ulfilas gives a picture of Arian beliefs. |
|
| Ulfilas was ordained a bishop by Eusebius of Nicomedia and returned to his people to work as a missionary. |
|
| Wulfila Glacier on Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named after Bishop Ulfilas. |
|
| The Arian sources depict Ulfilas as an Arian from childhood. |
|
| In western Europe, Arianism, which had been taught by Ulfilas, the Arian missionary to the barbarian Germanic tribes, was dominant among the Goths, Lombards and Vandals. |
|
| Generally, the Gothic language refers to the language of Ulfilas, but the attestations themselves are largely from the 6th century, long after Ulfilas had died. |
