Streitberg in "Die Gotische Bibel" discusses the Vorlage of the OT
in detail.  It is clear that Wulfilas translated the NT from Greek and
Nehemiah from the LXX.  After some detailed analysis aided by a cleaning of the
Nehemiah MS, scholars conclude that he used a Lucianic MS of the LXX,
which is not surprising considering Wulfilas' roots in Constantinople.

The Latin influences in the Gothic version are, according to Streitberg
(and I think Friedrichsen too), due to copying of the version's MSS in
a Latin environment.  All the Gothic language materials aside from
Argenteus are connected to Latin documents, as palimpsests, bilinguals,
or as marginalia.  (the skeireins, too?).  And of course, by the
sixth century the Goths had moved to Italy.  Streitberg's reconstructed
Greek Vorlage reflects this theory in that he tries to remove the
Latin intrusions into the text that he detects, to make the text conform
better to the version's known Byzantine relatives.
