 Reign of Tiberius , The   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In their old ballads (which amongst them are the only sort of registers and history) they celebrate _Tuisto_, a God sprung from the earth, and Mannus his son, as the fathers and founders of the nation.
To Mannus they assign three sons, after whose names so many people are called; the Ingaevones, dwelling next the ocean; the Herminones, in the middle country; and all the rest, Istaevones.
Some, borrowing a warrant from the darkness of antiquity, maintain that the God had more sons, that thence came more denominations of people, the Marsians, Cambrians, Suevians, and Vandalians, and that these are the names truly genuine and original.

XIX; of the Iscaevones it remains to be added, that the Anglo-Saxons also knew a hero Oesc, and consequently Oescingas.
The hypothesis of Istaevones = Izdaevones would require that the Goth.
The fluctuation between i and a would be common to both interpretations, 'Iscaevones = Askingâ;' and 'Istaevones = Artingâ'.

In their ancient songs, [15] which are their only records or annals, they celebrate the god Tuisto, [16] sprung from the earth, and his son Mannus, as the fathers and founders of their race.
Some, [18] however, assuming the licence of antiquity, affirm that there were more descendants of the god, from whom more appellations were derived; as those of the Marsi, [19] Gambrivii, [20] Suevi, [21] and Vandali; [22] and that these are the genuine and original names.
The Vindili, to whom belong the Burgundiones, Varini, Carini, and Guttones; the Ingaevones, including the Cimbri, Teutoni, and Chauci; the Istaevones, near the Rhine, part of whom are the midland Cimbri; the Hermiones, containing the Suevi, Hermunduri, Catti, and Cherusci; and the Peucini and Bastarnae, bordering upon the Dacians.

The first three tribes were called Ingaevones who lived nearest the sea, Herminones who lived in the interior and the Istaevones who lived everywhere else.
All of these different aspects of Hermin point to the direction of Sky Father.
The Istaevons were the tribes along the Rhine and in the southern part of Germany.

 Tribe of Reuben by Yair Davidiy
Palui (Phalu) is recalled in the region of Falia (Phalia in Germany) whence the Franks invaded Gaul.
Hanoch was recalled earlier in the Heniochoi who had been in the Scythian area of the Caucasus on the eastern coast of the Black Sea (Pliny, N.H. The third son of Reuben, Hetsroni (Chetsroni), is recalled in the ISTAEVONES who were a division of the Germanic peoples enumerated by Tacitus and Pliny.
They were said to comprise several tribes (Tacitus: "Germania" 2) but the only one identified for sure were the SICAMBRI who amalgamated with the Salian Franks20.

The ancient Germans also had a similar legend, which they recounted "in old poems which serve these people as annals" (Tacitus, Germania 2.2).
They relate that the ancestor of the Germans, called Mannus, divided the Germanic world between his three sons who became the eponyms of the three main German nations: Ingaevones (north), Herminones (middle), and Istaevones (south).
The same notion of a world divided into three parts underlies the Iranian legend that, during Jamæe@d's reign, thrice the earth became too crowded, and each time he was allowed to enlarge it by one-third (Vd.

 Tacitus' Germania
In the traditional songs which form their only record of the past the Germans celebrate an earth-born god called Tuisto.
His son Mannus is supposed to be the fountain-head of their race and himself to have begotten three sons who gave their names to three groups of tribes - the Ingaevones, nearest the sea; the Herminones, in the interior; and the Istaevones, who comprise all the rest.
Some authorities, with the freedom of conjecture permitted by remote antiquity, assert that Tuisto had more numerous descendants and mention more tribal groups such as Marsi, Gambrivii, Suebi, and Vandilii - names which they affirm to be both genuine and ancient.

 Germania (Ancient Germany) by Cornelius Tacitus
In their ancient songs, their only form of recorded history, the Germans celebrate the earth-born god, Tuisto.
They assign to him a son, Mannus, the author of their race, and to Mannus three sons, their founders, after whom the people nearest Ocean are named Ingaevones, those of the centre Herminones, the remainder Istaevones.
The remote past invites guesswork, and so some authorities record more sons of the god and more national names, such as Marsi, Gambrivii, Suebi and Vandilici; and the names are indeed genuine and ancient.

Identified by these writers as the Salians, Ripuarians, and Chatti, they are said to have shared the same language and to have many similar laws.
The Chatti (also Catti) were a tribe belonging to the NATSI Istvaeones (also Istaevones), that in the time of the Roman emperor Marcus Claudius Tacitus (275 AD) occupied what is now Hesse, but later were absorbed by the Franks.
Along with the Batavi, the Sicambri and others, the Catti formed the nucleus that became the Confederation of the Franks.
