Book 7
5.12
This people inhabited the country on the banks of the Danube, and were divided into two tribes, the Great and the Little Scordisci.The Agrianae occupied the neighbourhood of Mount Pangaeus on the confines of Thrace and Macedonia. The Triballi, at the time alluded to by Strabo, possessed nearly the whole of the country included between the Adriatic and the Euxine. The Scordisci, who were at first confined to the territory situated between the Drave and the Save, in their turn took possession of all this country. It is not possible, in consequence of the continual wars which existed amongst these people, to determine with exactness the places which they successively occupied. G. The former occupied the space between two rivers, which empty themselves into the Danube, the Noarus,Probably the Save. G. which runs beside Segestica, and the Margus, or, as some call it, Bargus. The Little Scordisci lived beyond this river close to the Triballi and Mysi.Maedi. The Scordisci possessed some of the islands also. They increased so much in strength and numbers as to advance even to the Illyrian, Paeonian, and Thracian confines. Most of the islands on the Danube fell into their hands, and they possessed the cities Heorta and Capedunum.Cities not identified.
