Exempla

“Item in Cacomnemone: Hic est (inquit) ille gurdus, quem ego me abhinc menses duos ex Africa venientem excepisse tibi narravi.”

And in (Laberius') The Forgetful Man: This is that dolt (gurdus) who, when two months ago from Africa I came, did meet me here, as I did say.

“Et gurdos, quos pro stolidis accipit vulgus, ex Hispania duxisse originem audivi.”

While I have heard that gurdus, which is colloquially used in the sense of “stupid,” is derived from Spain.
