A. Thompson , Jordanes is less reliable than Hydatius for three reasons he lived further way both in time and space from events in Galicia, his record for accuracy is less reputable, and his bias for the Goths led him to make the disloyal Aioulf a Warni and to involve the Suevi themselves in the act of betraying Theodoric. ref name Thompson168 More significantly, however, Jordanes mentions the Suevic bishops being greeted by Theodoric with the reverence due to episcopal rank pontificali reverentia , an anachronism considering the Suevi were pagans in 457. ref name Thompson169 Thompson, The Suevic Kingdom of Galicia, 169. ref After Aioulf, the Suevi chose Remismund to be their king and he was accepted by Theodoric.
