Ulfilas (or Wulfila, perhaps meaning "little wolf") (around A.D. 310-383), bishop, evangelist, and translator.

Arian bishop Ulfilas began the translation of the bible from Greek into the Gothic language. For this he established a Gothic alphabet writing system.

Fragments have survived and are known as the Codex argenteus.
