BRODIONTII
Eth.
BRODIONTII a people mentioned by Pliny (
3.20. s. 24) in the inscription from the trophy of the Alps. They are generally supposed to be the same as the Bodiontici; but Walckenaer (
Géog. vol. ii. p. 38) finds their name in a mountain called
Brodon, one of the largest that form the valley of the
Olle. The river
Olle joins the
Isère on the left bank, below
Grenoble. [
