HEVA.
Possibly a Gothic name meaning "wife."
... M. Peigné Delacourt, to whom we
are indebted for these details, answers unhesitatingly, "We
can. It is probably the tomb of Theodoric I, king of the
Visigoths." But how reconcile such a theory with the narrative
of Jornandes? To accomplish this, M. Delacourt imagines a few
unrecorded details, which of course no one is bound to accept, but which
certainly seem to bring us a little nearer to that tremendous
battle-field, dim with the haze of fourteen centuries. "When
the servants of Theodoric," so his imagined story runs, "found
that their king was wounded to death, they dragged him a little aside from
the 'vast and manifold and ruthless conflict.' They dug a
shallow trench in the gravelly soil, and there they laid the bruised and
trampled body of the snowy-bearded warrior. His golden-hilted sword
was still by his side, his cutlass hung from the baldric, the purple robe
of his royalty was fastened over his shoulders by the golden fibula.
Round his neck was the golden torque, his forearm was clasped by the
unclosed bracelet, on his finger was the ring of gold bearing the
mysterious name Heva, perhaps a remembrance of his dead wife,
perhaps1 a symbol of his kingship. All these things were buried with
him..."
1 Heva may possibly mean
"wife" or "house." But it seems more probable
that it is a proper name. The termination a is frequent in
Gothic names. More so, however, we must admit in those of men than
of women. (Italy and Her Invaders, Hodgkin, 1880)
