Berig is not otherwise known. Cassiodorus may have invented him, with inspiration from the name of Βέρικος (Berikos or Verica).

Recent archaeological research demonstrates that the transition of Oksywie culture into Wielbark culture was peaceful. Its timing coincides with the appearance of new population of Scandinavian origins in previously uninhabited area ("no man's land") between the Oksywie and Przeworsk culture areas (Kokowski 1999). It is highly probable that the new population which appeared on southern coast of the Baltic in early first century AD catalyzing the transformation of Oksywie culture into Wielbark culture (the historical Goths) can be identified with the Berig party described by Jordanes. The area where they settled suggests that Berig could be invited to defend the tribes known as Okywie culture against their southern (probably Vandal) neighbors.
