He calls their country Gathaea (KdBaia : Strab. xv. p. 699.) Some modem writers suppose the Oathaeans to have been a branch of the RajpuU (Mannert, vol. v. pt. i. p. 43), while others, including several of the best Orientalists, trace in their name that of the Hindu warrior caste, the Kskdtriyas. (Lassen, Pen- tapot. p. 23 ; Schl^el, Ind. BibL voL i. p. 249 ; Bohlen, Alte Indien, vol. ii. p. 22; Bitter, Erd' Ittnde, vol. v. p. 461.) [P. S.] GATHRAPS (KdBpaxlf, Ptol. vi. 8. § 4; Mardan. p. 20), a small river of Garmania, about which little more is known than its name. It was 700 stadia NW. of the mouth of the Gorios. Reichard con- sidered the Salsus of Pliny to be identical with the Gathraps (or, as in some M5S. it is called, the Araps) of Ptolemy, and that it is represented by the modem Skiur; but this seems veiy doubtful. [V.] CATOBKl'GA. [Gabtobuix.] GATORFSSIUM, b placed in the Table on a road from Vienna ( Vienne)^ in Gallia Narbonensis, through Gularo (^Grenoble) to the Alpis Gottia (^Afont Genevre). It is xii M. P. from Gularo on the route to the Alpis Gottia. Walckenaer places Ga- tonssium at Petit Col dOmon ei Quareie. [G. L.] GATTARUS (KoTTopos: Cattaro), a fortress of Dalmatia in Illyricum, restored by Justinian, was situated on the east side of the bay called after it. (Procop. d6 Aedif. iv. 4.) It is probably the tame as the Decadaron of the Geogr. Rav. GATTI. [Ghatti.1 GATTIGARA (rd KaTT(7apa), a great dty and port of the Sinae, S. of Thinae, near the mouth of the river Gottiaris, on the £. side of the Sinos Magnus, opposite the Ghersonesus Anrea. Ptolemy places it at the extreme £. and S. of the known world, m 177° E. long., and 8° 30' & lat, and Marcian calls it the southernmost dty of the inha- bited earth. It is one of Ptolemy's points of recorded a&tronomical observation, having 12^ hours m its longest day, and bdng 8 hours £. tii Alexandria ; and the sun bdng vertically over it twice in the year, namely, at the distance of about 70° on either side of the summer solstice (Ptol. i. 11. § 1, 14. §§ 1—10, 17. § 5, vii. 3. § 3, viii. 27. § 14 ; Marcian. p. 30). Following the numbers of Ptolemy, Mannert seeks the city in Borneo^ while others, re- lying rather on his general descriptions, after cor- recting the obvious and gross errors in his view's of the SB. part of Asia, identify the place with Canton, (Mannert, vol. v. pp. 188, fol. ; Forbiger, vol. ii. pp. 478—480.) [P. S.] GATUA'LIUM, in north Gallia, is placed in the Table on a road from Atuaca (Aduatuca, Tongerh) to Noviomagus {Nymegen), The Table gives thirty Gallic leagues from Tongem to Gatualium, and twelve leagues beyond Gatualium is Blariacum {Blerick)y which seems to be pretty well fixed; but the site of Gatualium is uncertain. [G. L.] GATUELLANI, a British population, under the dominion of the Boduni, reduc^ l>y Aulns Plantius. Dion Gassius (Ix. 20) is the authority for this, and Catuellani and Boduni are his forms. For the like- lihood or unlikelihood of the former of these being the Gatyeuchlani, and the Dobuni of Ptolemy, see those articles. [R> G. L.] GATYEUCHLANI. CATU'RIGES(KaTt{p<7cs). WheoCaeMrenMsed the Alps from Italy into Gallia the sooond time, in the early part of b. c. 58, he went by Ocelom {Uxean or Ocf/Zo), the last town in Gallia Citexior, to one of the Alpine passes. His route was by the pass of the Mont Genevrtj or Alpis Gottia. The Gentrones, Graioceli, and Gatoriges, occupied the heights and attempted to prevent hun from cnwiDg * the Alps. {B. G, L 10.) The position of the Ca- turiges is determined by that of their town Gatoriges or Gaturigae which the Itineraries place between Ebrodunom {Efnbrvn)^ and Vapincum ((Top); and a place c-alled Chorgtt corresp(Hids to this podtiosi. Two inscriptions are reported as found on the s^dty which contidn the name Gat. or Gathirig. An old temple, called the temple of Diana, now Ber?e8 as » church. There are also fragments of Bunan columns; and a block of marble in front c^ the church contains the name of the emperor Nero. {Guide de Voyageur, ^., par Richard et Hofr> quart.) In the Table this town is named Catori^ magus, and is placed on the road from Brigantio {Briangon^f to Vapincum. The Antonine Itin. has the same route, but the town is named Gatoriges; and it has the same name in the Jerusalem lUn. The name of the Gaturiges is presenred in tlie inscription of the trophy of the Alps (Plin. ilL 20), and they are mentioned between the Uceni and Brigiani. Pliny also mentions the Vagienni, who were in Italy on the Tanarus, as sprung from the Gaturiges (iii. 5); and in an obscure passage (iii. 17) he speaks of " Gaturiges exsules Insubrom," as having disappeared from Gallia Transpadana. We may probably conclude that the Gaturiges were among the Galli who entered Italy in the eazij period of Roman histoiy. Besides the town of Gaturiges, they had Ebrodonum (^mftrwi). Thej p06scs.sed, accordingly, part of the upper valley o£ the Durance, In Ptolemy the Gaturiges (Karvp- yiHaij iii. 1) are placed in the Alpes Gruae, which is a mistake; and he mentions only one town of the Gaturiges, Ebrodunum. Strabo's detcriptian of the position of the Gaturiges (p. 204) is also incorrect. D'Anville supposes that Brigantium was included in the territory of the Gaturiges; but there is no evidence for this, though it seems likely enough. Ptolemy assigns it to the S^osini. [Brigan- tium.] [G. L.] GATUSIAGUM, a position in north Gallia, which appears in the Antonine Itin. on Hie road from Bagacnm {Bavag) to Durocort4Hrum fReimti). It is placed vi Gallic leagues or 9 Rmnan miles from Verbinum ( VervinB)^ and it seems to be ChaaurM at the passage of the Serre, a small tributary of ths Oise. The same route u in the Table, but Cato- siacum is omitted. [G. L.] GATVIAGA. or, as it is sometimes written Gatuica, in Gallia jSarbonensis, is placed in the Table and the Antonine Itin. on the road from Vapincum {Gap) to Arelate {Arks); and it is xii M. P. from Gatviaca to Apta Julia (Apt)^ a positiQa which is known. Gatviaca is betweoi Alaunio and Apta Julia. These unimportant places can only be determined by the assistance of the best topogra- phical maps, and even then with no certainty, unless the name has been preserved. [G. LI GATYEUGHLANI, in Britain, mentioned by Ptolemy (ii. 3. §21) — whose geography for these parts is obscure — as next to the Goritani, whose towDs were Lindum and Rhage; Salinae and Uro- hiulum being those of the Gatyeuchlani themseli
