 790 DRYMAEA. Xpv0-^oAis) he quotes the Polyhiftor as his aa- thoritjr. [G.L.] DRYMAEA (^pvtuda, P&os.; Aftv/jLos^ Herod.*; Apvfuoy Steph. B.; Diymiae, Liv.), a frontier town of Phocis, on the side of Doris, whence it is included in the hmits of Doris bj Lirj. It was one of the Phocian towns destroyed by the annj of Xerxes. Paosanias describes it as 80 stadia from Amphicleia: but this number appears to be an error of the copy* ists, since in the same passage he says that Amphi- cleia was only 15 stadia from Tithroniumf and Ti- thronium 15 stadia from Drymaea, which would make Drymaea only 35 stadia from Amphicloa. He also speaks of an ancient temple of Demeter at Drymaea, containing an upright statue of the goddess in stone, in whose honour the annual festival of the Thesmophoria was celebrated. Its more ancient name is said to have been Nauboleis (Novf oXfis), which was derived from Naubolus, an ancient Phocian hero, father of Iphitus. (Hom. //. ii. 518.) Accord- ing to Leake the site of Drymaea is indicated by some ruins, situated midway between Kamdrea and (/unwto, and occupying a rocky point of the moun- tain on the edge of h» plain. ** Some of the towers remain nearly entue. The masonry is generally of the third order, but contains some pieces of the poly> gonal kind; the space enclosed is a triangle, of which none of the sides is more than 250 yards. At the summit is a circular acropolis of about two acres, preserving the remains of an opening into the town " (Herod, viii. 33; Pans. z. 3. § 2, x. 33. § 11 ; Liv. zxviii. 7 ; Plin. iv. 3. s. 4 ; Steph. B. «. «.; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. ii. pp. 73, 87.) DRYMUS. 1. In Phocis. [Drymaea.] 2. In Attica. [Attica, p. 329, b.] 3. A spot in Euboea, at the foot of Mt, Telethrius, near Oreos. (Strab. x. p. 445.) DRYMUSSA. [Clazomenas.] DRYNAE'METUM {6 Apwaifteros), a pkce in that part of Asia called Galatia, which the Galli occupied. Stmbo (p. 567) says that the council of the twelve tetrarchs, consistmg of 300 men, used to meet at Drynaemetum. The first part of the word may be Gallic, and the second seems to contain the same element as the names Nemetocenna, or Neme- tacum, Nemausus, and Xemossus in Gallia. [G.L.] DRY'OPES (Ap^oTcs), one of the aboriginal tribes of Greece. Theur earliest abode is said to have been on Mount Oeta and its adjacent valleys, in the district called after them, Diyopis (Apvord.) The Dorians settled in that part of their countiy which lay between Oeta and Parnassus, and which was afterwards called Doris [DoBis] ; but Diyopis originally extended as far north as the river Sper- cheius. The name of Dryopis was still applied to the latter district in the time of Strabo, who calls It a tetrapolis, like Doris. (Herod. L 56, viii. 31 ; Strab. ix. p. 434.) Heracles, in ccmjunction with the Malians, is said to have driven the Dryopes out of their country, and to have given it to the Dorians; whereupon the expelled Dryopes settled at Hermione and Asine in the Argolio peninsula, at Styrus and Gaiystus in Euboea, and in the island of Cythnos. These are the five chief places in which we find the Dryopes in historical times. (Herod, viii. 43, 46, 73; Diod iv. 57; Aristot. ap, Strab, viii. p. 373; Pans. iv. 34. § 9, seq., v. 1 . § 2.) Dicaearchus (v. 30, p. 459, ed. Fuhr) gives the name of Dryopis to the country around Ambracia, from which we might conclude that the Dryopes extended at one time from the Ambraciot gulf to Mount Oeta and the Sper- DUMHA. cheins. (Miiller, Dariam, book i. e. 2 ; Grote, Bisl. of Greece^ vol. ii p. 384.) DRYS (Afn/s), a town in Thrace of uncertain ute (Scyl. p. 27 ; Steph. B. t. v, ; Suid e. o.) [L. &] DUBIS {Aoveis : Doubs), a branch of the Arar {Saone), a river of Gallia. This river is called Dubis by Ptolemy (ii. 10. § 2) and Stxabo (p. 186); bat in Caesar {B. G. L 38) it is Alduasdubis, accord* ing to many MSS. Some MSSw have Abd or Add in the first syllable instead oi Aid, (Schnddei's Caesar, B. G. p. 80.) The name has been altered to Dubis by most editors of Caesar, contrary to the MSS., in order to make the orthography fit that of Strabo and Ptolemy. Caesar describes the Al- dnasdubb as nearly surrounding Vesontio (^Beitm- ^on). A French writer, mentioned by D'Anville, supposes that Alduasdubis is compounded of the names of two rivers, one of which he names AUe^ and he says that it joins the Douba below MoitU heUard. D'Anville found in his maps a stream near PorerUnd named HaHen or AUm. There is nothing strange in the name Alduasdubis being shorteDed into Dubis. Strabo (p. 186) says that the Arar {SaSne) rises in the Alps, and also the Dubis, a navigable river, which joins the Arar. He extends the name Alps, as it appears, to the Jura; for the Doubt rises in the highest parts of the Jura. It first flows KE.; but near Mont Terrible it suddenly turns west, and has a very irr^ular course to Porentrfd ; it then baa a general SW. course past Beacm^on and DoU to its junction with the Saine. The whole course of the Doubt is above 200 miles; and it is now navigated a considerable distance above BeaoM^on, Strabo seems to have known the position of the Dubis, and yet he makes a mistake twice about this river (p. 192), in making the Dubis one of the boon- daries of the Segusiani, and also of the Aednl He should have written Ligeris in both cases instead of Dubis. [G. L] DUBRIS, in Britain, mentioned both in the Itine- rary and the Notitia, in the latter as the station of the " Praepositus Militum Tungricanomm." Name for name, and place for pUce, Dubrisss Dover. The Octagon Tower attached to the old church is built chiefly of Roman bricks. How fiur, however, the materials may be older than the building is un- certain. The tower itself is considered to have been a lighthouse. [R. G. L.] DULGIBINI (AovX7ov^ioi), a German tribe which, according to Tacitus {Gorm. 34.) inhabited the country south or south-west of the AngriTsrii, whereas according to Ptolemy (iL 11. § 17) they dwelt further east on the right bank of the Wtaer. This discrepancy is no doubt the consequence of the migrations among the Germans; and both statements may be correct in regard to the difierent periods described by the two authorities. [L. S.] DULI'CHIUM. [EcHiNADES.] DULO'POLIS (Aov<{roXir, L6vuiy wSXu, He- sych.), a city of Crete, which was mentioned by So- sicrates in the first book of his work on Crete (Sold a. 9.)} and was said to have contained a thousand male citizens (Steph. B. a. v.). Unfortunately, none of these authorities give any hint which might serre to determine the situation of this city, which, from the singularity of its name, gives rise to tempting conjectures.
