AUTERI
Eth.
AUTERI in Ireland, placed by Ptolemy (
2.2.5) as next to the Nagnatae. Name for name the Nagnatae are the people of
Connaught; but the Nagnatae of Ptolemy was a
city. This was to the south of the
Erd-ini. If this name be preserved in Loch
Erne (as it probably is), the locality of the Auteri was in
Mayo or
Galway. [
