Questionable Roman Link

Jacques Saillot in his Les Seize Quartiers des Reines et Imperatrices Francaises, page 59

Here we find Valentian III, Emperor of the East, born 2 July 419, murdered 16 March 455,
and his wife Licinia Eudoxia as parents of

Eudoxia, born about 440 died before 484, married Huneric King of the Vandals
parents of
Hoamer, Prince of the Vandals, born about 480, died 530
father of
Galswinthe, born 518, died 582, married Athanagild King of the Visigoths
parents of
Brunehaut, wife of Sigebert I King of Austrasia

Eudoxia and Huneric are also
parents of
Evages, Prince of The Vandals born about 465 died about 530
father of
Brunechilde, wife of Gesalic King of the Visigoths
parents of
Athanagild who married Galswinthe mentioned above.

Taking into account the uncertainty surrounding the work of Jacques Saillot, can anyone confirm or correct the above?
Many thanks.

According to the_Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire_, 2nd series
(395-527 or so), Huneric was eldest son of Geiseric, King of the
Vandals (d. 477), and married (1) an unnamed daughter of Theoderic I,
King of the Visigoths, and (2), in or soon after 455, Eudocia,
daughter of Valentinian III. Huneric was King 477-84. His only known
and named child by Eudocia was Hilderic, born say 456, old in 530.
Hilderic was UNCLE of the brothers Hoamer and Euagees, -- here I move
on to _PLRE III --, presumably by a sibling (not named) of Hilderic,
but but one who need not (as far as I can see) necessarily have been
likewise a child of Eudocia. Euagees had a daughter Damira, who died
in infancy; no children are noted for Hoamer.

Athanagild, King of the Visigoths, married Goiswintha (not
Galswintha), whose parentage is not given by _PLRE III_. Thus the
line breaks at least twice. I won't bother to go further, as the
relevant entries in PLRE II and III are referenced to sources with
which I have some familiarity, and if the genealogical assertions in
question aren't found therein, they seem to me likely to be very late
and/or pure moonshine.

The above is an extremely poor source, and it would be best not to use
it at all.
