SOGIU´NTII

Eth. SOGIU´NTII an Alpine people mentioned by Pliny (3.20. s. 24). Nothing but resemblance of name gives us any indication of the position of many small mountain tribes, but the names remain frequently very little changed. The position of the Sogiuntii is conjectured to be shown by the name Sauze or Souches, NE. of Briançon in the department of Hautes Alpes. But this is merely a guess; and even the orthography of the name Sogiuntii is not certain.
