Alcis
2. A deity among the Naharvali, an ancient German tribe. (Tacit.
Germ. 43.) Grimm (
Deutsche Mythol. p. 39) considers Alcis in the passage of Tacitus to be the genitive of Alx, which, according to him, signifies a sacred grove, and is connected with the Greek
ἄλσος. Another Alcis occurs in Apollodorus,
2.1.5.
