Oium or Aujum was a name for an area in Scythia, where arguably the Goths under their king Filimer settled after leaving Gothiscandza, according to the ''Getica'' by Jordanes, written around 551.〔Jordanes, ''Getica'', (chapter IV (25) ) (link to translation by Mierow, 1915)〕〔(LISTSERV 14.4 )〕〔Green, Dennis Howard (1998). ''Language and History in the Early Germanic World''. Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-79423-4, p.167.〕〔Merrills, Andrew H. (2005). ''History and Geography in Late Antiquity''. Cambridge University, ISBN 0-521-84601-3, p.120: "The term may, of course, have been a simple invention of Jordanes or Cassiodorus, intended to lend a witty verisimilitude to a knowingly derivative origin myth."〕 Jordanes does not give the etymology, but many scholars interpret this word as a dative plural to the widespread Germanic words *''aujō-'' or *''auwō-'' and means "well-watered meadow" or "island".〔〔 According to some historians, Jordanes' account of the Goths' history in Oium was constructed from his reading of earlier classical accounts and from oral tradition.〔Merrills, Andrew H. (2005). ''History and Geography in Late Antiquity''. Cambridge University, ISBN 0-521-84601-3, p.120: "The influence of oral tradition in this passage (passage introducing Oium ) is palpable. Classical and scriptural parallels for the over-population motif, the Arcadian description of the Scythian Canaan and the broken bridge image do suggest that Gothic migration stories had not survived uncontaminated by contact with the Mediterranean world, but they remain recognizably the tropes of oral tradition", and p. 121: "Jerome and Orosius had identified the relatively unfamiliar Goths with the Scythian ''Getae'' of ancient historiography. () In the wake of this authority, the identification of Oium could be made with little comment".〕〔Wolfram, Herwig (2006). "Gothic history as historical ethnography" and Origo et religio: ethnic traditions and literature in early medieval texts". In ''From Roman Provinces to Medieval Kingdoms''. Ed. Thomas F. X. Noble, Routledge, ISBN 0-415-32741-5, pp. 43-90.〕 According to other historians, Jordanes' narrative has little relation to Cassiodorus,'〔Amory, Patrick: ''People and Identity in Ostrogothic Italy 489-554'', pp. 36 & 292. Kulikowski, Michael: ''Rome's Gothic Wars'', pp. 50-51.〕 no relation to oral traditions,〔Amory, Patrick: ''People and Identity in Ostrogothic Italy 489-554'', p. 295: "It is a mistake to think that any of the material in the Getica comes from oral tradition."〕 and little relation to actual history.〔Kulikowski, Michael: ''Rome's Gothic Wars'', p. 66.〕 Archaeologically, the Chernyakhov culture also named Sântana de Mureș contained parts of Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania corresponds with Gothic Scythia.〔On the identification of Oium with the Sintana de Mures/Chernyakhov culture-area: Green, D. H.: ''Language and history in the early Germanic world'', pp. 167-168. On the extent of the Sintana de Mures/Chernyakhov culture and its identification with the Goths: Heather, Peter and Matthews, John: ''Goths in the Fourth Century'', pp. 50-52 & 88-92 Kulikowski, Michael: ''Rome's Gothic Wars'', pp. 62-63. Note that Kulikowski has criticized the use of the ''Getica'' as a source for the period; Kulikowski, Michael: ''Rome's Gothic Wars'', p. 66.〕 ==Jordanes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
