Locus, please? I can't find it.
*****GK: Scratch Polybius (which was just an assumption based on his use of the term in other contexts, but his work is fragmentary). Diodorus Siculus (cf. his Book 5 from section 19 on) certainly, by implication, includes what we call "Germani" among the Gauls or Galatae. As to Livy: cf. 44,26-27. "Clondicus" from beyond the Danube reappears in 168 BCE as a potential ally of Perseus, but as a leader of "Gauls". BTW in the surviving Appian fragment on the same event, "Clondicus" becomes "Cloelius" and the "Gauls/Galatae/Bastarnae" become... "Getae". But there are many problems with Appian's labelings.****
