DULGIBINI
Eth.
DULGIBINI (Eth.
Δουλγούμνιοι), a German tribe which, according to Tacitus (
Germ. 34.) inhabited the country south or south-west of the Angrivarii, whereas according to Ptolemy (
2.11.17) they dwelt further east on the right bank of the
Weser. This discrepancy is no doubt the consequence of the migrations among the Germans; and both statements may be correct in regard to the different periods described by the two authorities.
