^According to Schanz-Hosius (Geschichte der Römischen Literatur, 4, vol. 2 (1920), pp. 115, 118) the best MSS of his work present his name as Jordanes, as does the 'Geographus Ravennas'. Jordanis is a 'vulgar' form that is also used, while Jornandes only appears in lesser MSS. The form Jornandes, however, was often used in older publications.
^"If Jordanes was a bishop (as is frequently assumed) and if he lived in Italy (also frequently assumed), those elements of his background have left no trace in his two histories" (Brian Croke (1987), “Cassiodorus and the Getica of Jordanes”, Classical Philology82: 119 (117–134)., doi:10.1086/367034
^論述の中では、542年のユスティニアヌスの疫病(英語版)を「9年前 (ante hos novem annos)」のこととしている (Getica 104)。ただし、現代の研究者たちは、より遅い成立時期を支持する傾向にある。552年成立とする説については、Peter Heather, Goths and Romans 332-489, Oxford 1991, pp. 47-49, を、554年成立とする説については、Walter Goffart, The Narrators of Barbarian History, Princeton 1988, p. 98. を参照。
