	The Gepids
		The Gepids provided Attila with the largest of all his 'allied' contingents and their king, Ardaric, was the most favoured of all the great Hun's vassals.
		In 546, the Romans employed their Lombard allies, under Audoin, to drive the Gepids out of this strategically important region and at the Battle of Asfeld in 552, the Gepids were crushed.
		What was left of Gepid power and autonomy was wiped out in 567 by the Avars, who had succeeded the Huns as the latest menace to Europe from the Asiatic steppes.

	5. THE SLAVS
		They were barred from access by the forest zone that the Gepids had 'purposely' allowed to expand around their settled areas as well as by the strong Gepid defence of mountain passes.
		The Gepids' 'forest defences' were not restricted to the Carpathian line; there was probably a broad swath in the region of Hunyad, Krassó-Severin, and Temes region, and an even broader one around the Szamos and upper Tisza rivers.
		The first material proof of the Slavs' presence in Transylvania was found on the southern, 'Avar' edge of the cemetery at Mezőbánd, in grave 24: a small baking dish ('klebec'), hand-made and decorated in a linear dot pattern, that must have belonged to a Slav household nearby, and dates from 600–630.

		If the Gepids did not occupy the Hornád valley, it must have been taken by the Suebi after the Vandals had left it, because there was no other significant tribe in the Carpathian Basin whose area neighboured to the Vandal territory.
		The Gepids and the Suebi, whose areas separated the Vandals in the south and in the west from the rest of the Carpathian Basin, divided the abandoned Vandal territory among themselves.
		The Gepids, endangered by the new Lombard-Byzantine alliance, reacted by contracting an alliance with the Slavs living in the north of the Carpathian Basin where Hildigis was staying.

		Once the imperial army had left the scene, however, the Gepid-Lombard truce broke up, but now the Gepid king Thorison and the Lombard, Audoin, found that the rank and file of their armies were unwilling to fight each other.
		The Gepid garrison in Sirmium, thinking Justin was an ally, handed over the city to a Byzantine force and went off to join their army against the Lombard-Avar alliance.
		The Avars arrived too late to take part in the Gepid defeat, but they were in time to share the spoils: they acquired the Gepid lands east of the Danube.

	LISTSERV 14.4
		Jordanes' may be a spurious folk etymology (gepanta) and unrelated to the (tribal?) name Gepid.
		The term Gepid itself is probably a Latinized form of a Germanic word which must be understood before any meaning can be extracted, rather like finding "City of Constantine" in the Turkish word Istanbul.
		Notwithstanding the correctness of Jordanes' etymology, gepanta is suspicious because: 1) it has no known Gothic correspondance, 2) (as you've said) it begins with what could be the common Gothic prefix ga- 3) and is ends with what could be the common Gothic gerundive suffix -anda.

		As a part of the Dacian realm, Transylvania became a territory subjugated by Rome at the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. and remained so until the middle of the 3rd.
		During the barbarian incursions the Romanized original Dacians were overcome by Germanic (Goth, Vandal, Gepid), Ural-Altaic (Avar) and Slav tribes.
		The latter created an empire which lasted until the final years of the 800's when it crumbled due to pressure from the Magyars who began their penetration into Transylvania.

		The Gepids were a small Gothic tribe occupying territory along the northern Adriatic.
		The Gepids were a sub-tribe of the Goths who began arriving in Dacia in the AD 260s, and spread throughout the Balkans before invading Italy in the wake of collapsing Roman power in the late 5th century AD.
		For the most part, the Gepids were merely vassals of the greater Ostrogothic or Hunnic tribes, but from AD 454, when they defeated the Huns at Nadeo, to AD 552, when they were displaced by the Lombards, the Gepids possessed a state of their own in the region of the Carpathians and around Sirmium.
