About Wisimar, king of the Herulii

Visimar Asdingi was the son of two kings ? Asdingi.1 Visimar Asdingi was overthrown, together with the greater part of his people, by Geberich, king of the Goths, the son of Hilderith, who was the son of Ovida, who was the son of Nidada, on the shore of the river Marisia.2 He was of the stock of the Asdingi, which is eminent among them and indicates a most warlike descent, as Dexippus the historian relates.3

Ben M. Angel notes: Wisimar was proposed as progenitor of the kings of the Vandals. The only online backing I could find for this were two secondary sources that did not list any primary or secondary citations for their information:

Wisimar did exist as a King of the Vandals, according to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisimar

Wisimar or Visimar (?-335) was a Vandal ruler of the Hasdingi tribe during the 4th century in Europe. Although his historical figure is overwhelmingly shadowded by a lack in historical data, he is noted as one of the early monarchs of the Vandals. His territorial extent occupied regions of today's Transilvania in Romania, Tisza in Ukraine and a part of then-Roman province Dacia. He most likely died during the neighbouring Visigoth breakthrough in 335.

Ben M. Angel notes: The 335 event is apparently the attack by the Tervingi Goths (proto-Visigoths) and Taifali allies on the Vandals and the Gepidae. The two-pronged attack, which was supposed to have taken place before 291 (it was referred to in a "eulogy" of the Emperor Maximian, possibly in 292), badly damaged both defenders.
