ME´DULI

Eth. ME´DULI a Gallic people on the coast south of the Garumna (Garonne). Ausonius (Ep. 4) says to Theon :-- “Quum tamen exerces Medulorum in litore vitam.

He says in another Epistle to Theon (Ep. 5) :-- “Unus Domnotoni te litore perferet aestus
Condatem ad portum, si modo deproperes.

[As to this Condatis Portus, see CONDATE No. 6.]

Ausonius (Ep. 7) thanks Theon for sending him some of the oysters, equal to those of Baiae, which were fattened in the “stagna Medulorum.” The country of the Meduli corresponds to Médoc in the French department of the Gironde.

[G.L]
