Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
I was wondering if there are first hand accounts of people who interacted with the vikings. I have seen much literature on the subject, but most of these stories seem from either second-hand sources, archeological findings or even flat-out rumors. I would like to read about them in a first hand account from the time when they still existed as vikings. Sources in other languages are okay: I speak German, Greek, Latin, some Spanish, a bit French and some Arabic (although I have to admit that I have not spoken it in years).
Thank you very much for yours answers!-- 2A02:120B:2C17:3CA0:D43D:F270:18DE:3724 ( talk) 09:52, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
Awesome, thank you very much, Someguy1221!-- 2A02:120B:2C17:3CA0:7443:7455:66DD:2543 ( talk) 18:04, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, Adam Bishop! I am going to take a look at them!-- 2A02:120B:2C17:3CA0:7443:7455:66DD:2543 ( talk) 19:22, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Good Day
I have read the wiki article about Hegesias of Cyrene and was wondering if it is possible to read contemporary comments from his peers or students about him and his works. I have also heard that a bishop in the later Roman period tried to find parts of his works but was apparently only able to find parts of it through other sources. If you have the name of the bishop and the name of his work about Hegesias, please let me now, because I have not found his name so far.
Thank you most kindly-- 2A02:120B:2C17:3CA0:D43D:F270:18DE:3724 ( talk) 10:00, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
This is amazing! Thank you most kindly!-- 2A02:120B:2C17:3CA0:7443:7455:66DD:2543 ( talk) 18:05, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
I will, thank you!-- 2A02:120B:2C17:3CA0:8CD2:348A:D4A6:48C2 ( talk) 15:24, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Look at a recent edit to Daryl Bem. It mentions someone named Bruce Henderson. Wikipedia has an article titled Bruce Henderson, but then it has links to 2 other people with that name at a dis-ambiguation header. Which Bruce Henderson does the Daryl Bem article refer to??
