ones_, _Grudii_, _Levaci_, _Pleumosii_, _Gordunni_,
under the Dominion of the _Nervii_, lib. 5. cap. 11. He names the
_Eburones_ and _Condrasii_ as Clients of the _Treviri_, lib. 4. cap. 2.
And of the _Commonwealth_ of the _Veneti_ (these are in _Armorica_ or
_Brittanny_) he writes, that their Domination extended over all those
Maritime Regions; and that almost all that frequented those Seas were
their Tributaries, _lib._ 3. _cap._ 2. But the Power of the _Arverni_
was so great, that it not only equall'd that of the AEdui, but a little
before _Caesar_'s Arrival, had got most of their Clients and Dependents
from them, _lib._ 6 _cap._ 4. _lib._ 7. _cap._ 10. Whereupon, as Strabo
writes in his 4th Book, they made War against _Caesar_ with Four hundred
thousand Men under the Conduct of their General _Vercingetorix_. These
were very averse to Kingly Government: So that _Celtillus_, Father to
_Vercingetorix_, a Man of great Power and Reputation (reckon'd the first
Man in all _Gaul_,) was put to Death, by _Order_ of his _Commonwealth_,
for aspiring to the _Kingdom_. The _Sequani_, on the other hand, had a
King, one _Catamantales_, to whom the _Romans_ gave the Title of their
_Friend_ and _Ally_, lib. 1. cap. 2. Also the _Suessiones_, who were
Masters of most large and fertile Territories, with 12 great Cities, and
cou'd muster Fifty thousand fighting Men, had a little before that time
_Divitiacus_, the most potent Prince of all _Gallia_ for their King; he
had not only the Command of the greatest Part of _Belgae_, but even of
_Britanny_. At _Caesar_'s Arrival they had one _Galba_ for their King,
_lib._ 2. _cap._ 1. In _Aquitania_, the _Grandfather_ of one _Piso_ an
_Aquitanian_ reigned, and was called _Friend_ by the People of _Rome_,
lib. 4. cap. 3. The _Senones_, a People of great Strength and Authority
among the _Gauls_, had for some time _Moritasgus_ their King; whose
Ancestors had also been Kings in the same Place, _lib._ 5. _cap._ 13.
The _Nitiobriges_ or _Agenois_, had _Olovico_ for their King; and he
also had the Appellation given him of _Friend_ by the _Senate_ of
_Rome_, lib. 7. cap. 6.

But concerning all these Kingdoms, one thing is remarkable, and must not
lightly be past by; which is That _they were not hereditary_, but
_conferr'd_ by the _People_ upon such as had the Reputation of being
just Men. Secondly, That they had no _arbitrary_ or _unlimited
Authority_, but were bound and _circumscribed_ by _Laws_; so that
