Quotation	Et quia Gothorum gens ex Magog uenit, adfirmit Chronica idem Gothorum cum dicit: Gothorum antiquissimam esse gentem quorum origo a Magog filio Iaphet dicunt esse, et nominari a similitudine ultimae syllabae, id est Gog
Translation	And the same chronicle of the Goths affirms that the people of the Goths came from Magog, when it says: The sons of Japheth claim to be the most ancient people of the Goths, whose origin is from Magog and claim to be named from the similarity of the last syllable," that is, Gog. (Baxter-Wolf, trans., “Chronica Prophetica”, 2008)
Summary	Here the Chronica prophetica connects the Goths with Gog and Magog on linguistic grounds, through the similarity between the names Goth and Gog, and the final syllable of the name Magog.
