PINE´TUS

PINE´TUS (Πίνητος, Ptol. 2.6.39), a town of Lusitania, on the road from Bracara to Asturica (Itin. Ant. p. 422). Ptolemy places it between the Durius and the Minius, and consequently in the territory of the Gallaeci; but, according to the Itinerary, it must have lain S. of the former river. Variously identified with Pinhel, Pinheira, and Mirandella.
