DIODO´RUM
DIODO´RUM a town in Gallia, placed by the Antonine Itin. on the road from Rotomagus (
Rouen) to Lutetia (
Paris).
It lies between Durocasses (
Dreux) and Paris, 22 Gallic leagues from
Dreux, and 15 from
Paris. The place was on a stream, as we may
[p. 1.777]infer from the termination
dur; the first part of the name may be another form of Divo, as in Divodurum. Some geographers make the place
Davron. D'Anville fixes on
Jouare near
Pontchartrain. [
