Reiks (Gothic: 𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐍃; pronunciation /ri:ks/; Latinized as rix) is a Gothic title for a tribal ruler, often translated as "king". In the Gothic Bible, it translates to the Greek árchōn (ἄρχων). It is presumably translated as basiliskos (βασιλίσκος "petty king") in the Passio of Sabbas the Goth. The Gothic Thervingi were divided into subdivisions of territory and people called kunja (singular kuni, cognate with English kin), led by a reiks. In times of a common threat, one of the reiks would be selected as a kindins, or head of the empire (translated as "judge", Latin iudex, Greek δικαστής).

  • Reiks (Gothic: 𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐍃; pronunciation /ri:ks/; Latinized as rix) is a Gothic title for a tribal ruler, often translated as "king". In the Gothic Bible, it translates to the Greek árchōn (ἄρχων). It is presumably translated as basiliskos (βασιλίσκος "petty king") in the Passio of Sabbas the Goth. The Gothic Thervingi were divided into subdivisions of territory and people called kunja (singular kuni, cognate with English kin), led by a reiks. In times of a common threat, one of the reiks would be selected as a kindins, or head of the empire (translated as "judge", Latin iudex, Greek δικαστής). Herwig Wolfram suggested the position was different from the Roman definition of a rex ("king") and is better described as that of a tribal chief (see Germanic king). A reiks had a lower order of optimates or megistanes (μεγιστάνες, presumably translating mahteigs) beneath him on whom he could call on for support. It also figures prominently as second element in Gothic names, Latinized and often anglicized as -ric, such as in Theoderic (Þiuda-reiks). The use of the suffix extended into the Merovingian dynasty, with kings given names such as Childeric, and it survives in modern German and Scandinavian names such as Ulrich, Erik, Dietrich, Heinrich, Richard, Friedrich.

  • Rei (em latim: rex) é a tradução empregada pela historiografia para referir-se ao termo gótico reiks que foi empregado no século IV para referir-se a um governante tribal. Na Bíblia Gótica, foi traduzido para o grego como arconte (ἄρχων). É presumivelmente traduzível como "basilisco" (em grego: βασιλίσκος; romaniz.: basilískos , lit. "pequeno rei") na Paixão de . Os tervíngios tinham subdivisões de território e povo chamadas kunja (singular kuni, cognata do inglês kin), que eram controladas pelo rei. Em tempos de ameaça comum, um dos reis seria selecionado como um juiz (kindins) ou chefe do império. Herwig Wolfram sugere que a posição diferiu da definição romana de "rei" (em latim: rex) e é melhor tido como um chefe tribal. Um rei teve sob seu comando uma ordem inferior de optímatos (optimates) ou magistanos (μεγιστάνες, presumivelmente traduzível para gótico como mahteigs), a quem poderia convocar por suporte. (pt)
