Reinach, _Rev. Arch._ xx. 262; D'Arbois, _Les Celtes_, 20. Other grouped gods are the Bacucei, Castoeci, Icotii, Ifles, Lugoves, Nervini, and Silvani.

Gael. Soc. Inverness_, xxvi. 413). [120] Caesar, vi. 17. [121] D'Arbois, _Les Celtes_, 54; _Rev. Arch._ i. 201. See Holder, _s.v._ [122] Solinus, xxii. 10; Holder, _s.v._ [123] Ptolemy, ii. 2. [124] See p. 71, _infra_. [125] Dio Cass. lxii. 7; Amm. Mare, xxvii. 4. 4. [126] Plutarch, _de Vir. Mul._ 20; Arrian, _Cyneg._ xxxiv. 1. [127] S. Greg. _Hist._ viii. 15. [128] Grimm, _Teut. Myth._ 283, 933; Reinach, _RC_ xvi. 261. [129] Reinach, _BF_ 50. [130] Holder, i. 1286; Robert, _RC_ iv. 133. [131] Rh[^y]s, _HL_ 27. [132] Anwyl, _Celt. Rev._ 1906, 43. [133] Holder, _s.v._; Bulliot, _RC_ ii. 22. [134] Holder, i. 10, 89. [135] Holder, _s.v._; see p. 213, _infra_. [136] Holder, ii. 463. They are very numerous in South-East Gaul, where also three-headed gods are found. [137] See pp. 274-5, _infra_. [138] Courcelle-Seneuil, 80-81.

The _Matres_ may already have had a sinister aspect in Roman times, as they appear to be intended by an inscription _Lamiis Tribus_ on an altar at Newcastle. Huebner, 507. [144] Anwyl, _Celt. Rev._ 1906, 28. Cf. _Y Foel Famau_, "the hill of the Mothers," in the Clwydian range. [145] See p. 73, _infra_. [146] Vallentin, _op. cit._ iv. 29; Maury, _Croyances du Moyen Age_, 382.
