GRISELUM

GRISELUM (Eth. Griselicus), a place in Gallia Narbonensis. Spon published an inscription found at the baths of Greoulx, near Riez, in the department of Basses Alpes. Greoulx is near the right bank of the Verdon, a little above its junction with the Durance. The inscription is “Nymphis xi. Griselicis.” Papon made the ridiculous mistake of supposing that the numerals marked the number of these water nymphs. Walckenaer observes that XI. M. P. is the exact distance between Greoulx and Reii (Riez).
