The prineipltf Gallic tribes were—->■ I . The nattéh-î called Yjafcêâ,
of whom th i Tectosages and Arecomief'were-both' branches;
Nema'üèus and Tolosa, or Toulouse, were "their principal
towns. In the latter-the Tectosages had depôsitedrtæèasures accumulated
in their-expedition-into Germany.pThé ArecorUici
inhabited the eastern parts of Languedoc. 2. The Allobroges*
between the Rhone and the Isère. 3. Cavares.4. -YMeontii*
between the Isère and the Durance. 5. Salluvii, reckoned by
the Greeks of Marseilles as Ligurians.# These tribe's came,
long before Omsar’s time, under the Roman domination, and
their country was called Gallia Braccata as distinguished from
the Cisalpine, and Narbonensis at the foundation .'ofvNûrte;
afterwards commonly the Province.^ The '0411168 of rivers
in the Province are evident relics of the Euskarian or Iberian
languages, as Illerris, and Illiberris. £
III. The following tribes are enumerated in 'that part of
Gallia Celtica which was added to Aquitania. >
1. The Pictones, from the mouth of the Loire-.southward to
Pöictou, which preserves their namer 2. The Agesinàtes.
3. Santbnes, from the mouth of the Gironde-to Per’êgèrd
eastward. 4. Bituriges Vibiscif'-or Iosci, or Yivisciy: .the
cUDily Celtic- tribe to the southward of the Garonne. J o
the inland country were 1. the Lemovici in Limousin.
2. The Cadurci. 3. Petrocorii, of Périgord, -"d. Nitiobriges.
6.' Bituriges Cubi, o f. Berry, a powerful tribe who hakL
twenty: towns, separated from the Haedui by the Loire.'
6. The Arvemi, one of the most celebrated nations:'èf
Gaul. 7. Yelauni. 8. Gabali, who worked silvér mines in
the Cevennes. 9. Ruteni.
* The Salyes or Saluyii, in.whose country Marseilles was founded, were called
by the Greëk colonists Ligurians, as Strabo informs us, and they are so termed by
Pliny : in later times, says Strabo, they were Celto-Ligyes, and Livy calls them
“ Salluvii Galli.”—-See Strabo, iv. p. 2Ö4. Zeuss conjectures that the Celtæ from
the interior had conquered and had become mixed with the sea-coast Ligurians, who
were hence called Celto-Ligurians, and by Livy, Galli. Zeuss, ubi supra, p. 163.
t These tribes of the Homan Province were, as we have seen, the nations who
were first called Celti : to assume that they were Belgas, on mere conjecture, as some
late writers have done, seems to be setting all historical evidence at defiance.
