SARMA´TICI MONTES
SARMA´TICI MONTES (
Σαρματικὰ ὄρη), a range of mountains on the eastern frontier of Germany, mentioned only by Ptolemy (
2.11.6,
8.10.2), according to whom it appears to have ex-tended north of the Danube as far as the sources of the Vistula, and therefore consisted of the mountains in
Moravia and a part of the
Carpathians. [
