[42] Isidore, _Etymol._ ix. 2, 103; Rh[^y]s, _CB_ 242-243; Cæsar, v. 14; Nicholson, _ZCP_ in. 332. [43] Tacitus, _Agric._ ii. [44] If _Celtæ_ is from _qelo_, "to raise," it may mean "the lofty," just as many savages call themselves "the men," _par excellence_. Rh[^y]s derives it from _qel_, "to slay," and gives it the sense of "warriors." See Holder, _s.v._; Stokes, _US_ 83. _Galatæ_ is from _gala_ (Irish _gal_), "bravery." Hence perhaps "warriors." [45] "Galli" may be connected with "Galatæ," but D'Arbois denies this. For all these titles see his _PH_ ii. 396 ff. [46] Livy, v. 31 f.; D'Arbois, _PH_ ii. 304, 391. |
