TUDE
TUDE (
Τοῦδαι and
Τοῦνδαι, Ptol 2.6.45), a fort or castle of the Gruii or Gravii, in Hispania Tarraconensis, E. of Limia, and on the road from Bracara to Asturica. (
Itin. Ant. p. 429.)
It is called Tyde by Pliny (
4.20. s. 34), and according to an ancient tradition it was the seat of an Aetolian colony under Diomed; a tale probably occasioned by the similarity of its name to that of Tydeus. (
