Gabrantovices : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gabrantovices The Gabrantovices were a conjectural group of Ancient Britons inhabiting the coast of what is now Yorkshire in Northern England. They may have been a sub-tribe or sept of the Brigantes or of the Parisi. As with their proposed neighbours, the Lopocares, the Gabrantovices are not directly attested: the name is taken from Ptolemy's name ''Γαβραντουικων Ευλιμενος Κολπος'', or in Latin ''Gabrantvicvm Sinus'' — the Gabrantovician Harbour. This is identified with modern Bridlington Bay or Filey Bay.〔A.L.F. Rivet, C. Smith, ''The Place-names of Roman Britain'', Batsford (1979)〕 The meaning of the name has been discussed as deriving from one of two Celtic roots, either *''gabro-'' meaning a goat (Welsh ''gafr'') or *''gabranto-'' meaning "riding a horse" with second element meaning "fight", so "Goat warriors" or "Cavalry warriors".〔Helmut Birkhan, ''Germanen und Kelten bis zum Ausgang der Römerzeit'', Böhlau (1970)〕〔K Jackson, Journal of Roman Studies XXXVIII (1948), 57〕 ==References==
