Gauls Writing Greek

Actually -- I'll check this -- but I think he did. If I remember correctly,
Caesar is talking about how the Druids reserved writing in Gaulish for
religious matters only, and used Greek for commercial and other record
keeping -- the context is about written language, not scripts.

In fact, this is one of the sources often cited for the commonly repeated saw
that the Druids forbade the use of writing. When elsewhere Caesar talks
about using the Greek alphabet to disquise a Latin message so that
Latin-reading (non-druidic?) Gauls could not intercept it, he uses a
different term, "literati" - letters, writing. This is from memory so I
promise to check when I get back.

In any case, have Greek texts or even Greek script been found in Gaul after
say 400BC? I don't think I've heard of any. Am I wrong? So what happened to
all that stuff?

Quick note from on the road.
