1.
A town in Vindelicia, on the road leading from Campodunum to Augusta Vindelicorum. (
Itin. Ant. p. 250; Orelli,
Inscript. no. 2054.)
It is identified with the modern

2.
(
Günz), a river in Vindelicia, and a tributary of the Danube; near its source the town of Guntia was situated.
This river is not expressly mentioned by the ancients; but the town of the same name, and the expression, “Danubii transitus Guntiensis” (Eumen.
Paneg. Const. 2), show that its name was known to them. [
