SIATUTANDA
SIATUTANDA (
Σατούτανδα), is mentioned by Ptolemy (
2.11.27) as a town of Germany; but had probably no existence at all, the geographer imagining that in the words of Tacitus (
Tac. Ann. 4.73), “ad sua tutanda digressis rebellious” the name of some town was contained. Notwithstanding this evident origin of the name, some modern geographers still persist in assuming a town Siatutanda. [L.S.)
