Vithimiris was a king of the Greuthungi, ruling for some unspecified time in the area of present-day southern Ukraine.
He did so "for some time" (aliquantisper), but eventually, "after many defeats" (post multas clades), he died in battle.
[3] His son Viderichus was too young at that time to rule, so the actual reign was in the hands of Alatheus and Saphrax, his subordinate commanders, as Michael Kulikowski labels them.
He ruled barely for a year (vix anni spatio) and then he had to face the Huns in battle.
The Hunnic king Balamber waged a long war on Vinitharius (diuque certati) and only in the third battle, he managed to kill him.
