I haven't found an ethonym in Detschew to match the "Butones", but
there are eponymous personal names:

1.
Boútes, Boutas, Butes, Butus, Bouteis (pirate on Naxos, from Boeotia,
from Dacia

further Lydian Boutias, Celtic Butes, Buttus

and

2.
Bytinis (Pomp. Mela)

As to Mugilones

Detschew has:

Mygdónes, Edonian tribe

and the Heros Eponymos of the tribe

Mygdó:n

and

Mygdos

town in Phrygia


Torsten
