GANODU´RUM
GANODU´RUM (
Γανόδουρον), one of the two Helvetian cities mentioned by Ptolemy (
2.9. s. 20).
The termination
dur seems to show that it was on some river, but there is no evidence of any kind, except Ptolemy's figures, to fix its position; and that evidence is worth nothing. Some reasons have been given for supposing it to be near the entrance of the Rhine, on to the
lake of Constanz, not far from
Stein. (Walckenaer,
Géographe des Gatules, vol. i. p. 317.)
