Tolistobogii (in other sources Tolistobogioi, Tolistobōgioi, Tolistoboioi, Tolistobioi, Toligistobogioi or Tolistoagioi) is the name used by the Roman historian, Livy, for one of the three ancient Celtic tribes of Galatia in central Asia Minor, together with the Trocmi and Tectosages. The tribe entered Anatolia in 279 BC as a contingent of Celtic raiders from the Danube region, and settled in those regions of Phrygia which would later become part of the Roman province of Galatia. The Galatians retained their Celtic language through the 4th century AD, when Saint Jerome mentions that the Galatians still spoke a Celtic language in his times.〔Hieronymos: ''Commentarius in Epistulam ad Galatas'' 2,3〕 ==Etymology and identity== The name is believed to be a ''karmadhāraya'' compound of two Proto-Celtic roots: the first, '' *tolisto-'', is of uncertain meaning, but perhaps related to Old Irish ''tol'' "will, desire";〔Delamarre, Xavier, Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise, Editions Errance, Paris, 2003, p. 298.〕 Rübekeil conjectures it to be an adjectival derivation from a Celtic root '' *tel-'' in an archaic and not well-attested formation of the superlative, and tentatively translates the name as "the most enduring, hardest".〔Rübekeil, Ludwig: ''"Diachrone Studien zur Kontaktzone zwischen Kelten und Germanen"'', Wien, 2002. ISBN 3-7001-3124-0, pp. 96f.〕 A non-Celtic origin for the root is also possible'' *tolisto-'' . The second root, '' *bogio-'', means "beat, pound" and is a common element in Celtic personal names (cf. Gaulish ''Andecombogius'', ''Combogiomārus'', ''Namantobogius'', ''Uercombogius''; also Old Irish ''bong'' "batter" and Welsh ''-abwy'' ('' *adbogio-'' ) in names such as ''Rhonabwy'' and ''Iunabwy'').〔Delamarre, Xavier, Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise, Editions Errance, Paris, 2003, p. 81-82.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tolistobogii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
