SALE´TIO
SALE´TIO in Gallia.
This name occurs in the Not. Imp., in the Antonine Itin. and in the Table. Ammianus (16.2) names it Saliso: “Argentoratum, Brocomagum, Tabernas, Salisonem, &c.” The Itin. places Saletio between Argentoratum (
Strassburg) and Tabernae; and the Table places it between Tabernae and Brocomagus (
Brumath), which is north of
Strassburg. The numbers are not correct in the Itin.; but there is no doubt that the place is
Setz near the Rhine.
A diploma of Otho the Great names it “Salise in Elisazium,” in
Elsaz or
Alsace. (D'Arville,
Notice, &c.)
