Summary\n

The paper is dedicated to the reconstruction of meaning of Gothic saliþwos, which appears in the Gothic Bible 4 times and is used to translate 3 Greek words (κατάλυμα, μονή, ξενία) in two Gospels and a Message. A detailed analysis of the contexts in Gothic, Greek, Latin and other Germanic languages, as well as historical and archaeological materials allowed to establish that Gothic *saliþwa could mean a special place in the dwelling where the stranger or traveler was provided with food or rest.
