e des Deux Mondes_, xxxiv. 466; Desjardins, _Geog. de la Gaule Romaine_, ii. 518. [1005] Caesar, vi. 13. [1006] Pliny, _HN_ xxx. 1. [1007] Rh[^y]s, _CB_{4} 69 f. [1008] Gomme, _Ethnol. in Folk-lore_, 58, _Village Community_, 104. [1009] Sergi, _The Mediterranean Race_, 295. [1010] Reinach, "L'Art plastique en Gaule et le Druidisme," _RC_ xiii. 189. [1011] Holmes, _Caesar's Conquest of Gaul_, 15; Dottin, 270. [1012] Diog. Laert. i. 1; Livy xxiii. 24. [1013] Desjardins, _op. cit._ ii. 519; but cf. Holmes, 535. [1014] _Gutuatros_ is perhaps from _gutu_-, "voice" (Holder, i. 2046; but see Loth, _RC_ xxviii. 120). The existence of the _gutuatri_ is known from a few inscriptions (see Holder), and from Hirtius, _de Bell. Gall._ viii. 38, who mentions a _gutuatros_ put to death by Caesar. [1015] D'Arbois, _Les Druides_, 2 f., _Les Celtes_, 32. [1016] Ausonius, _Professor._ v. 7, xi. 24. [1017] Lucan, iii. 424; Livy, xxiii. 24. [1018] Diod. Sic. v. 31; Strabo, iv. 4. 4; Timagenes _apud_ Amm. Marc. xv. 9. [1019] Cicero, _de Div._ i. 41. 90; Tac. _Hist._ iv. 54. [1020] _Phars._ i. 449 f. [1021] _HN_ xxx. i. [1022] _Filid_, sing. _File_, is from _velo_, "I see" (Stokes, _US_ 277). [1023] _Fathi_ is cognate with _Vates_. [1024] In Wales there had been Druids as there were Bards, but all trace of the second class is lost. Long after the Druids had passed away, the fiction of the _derwydd-vardd_ or Druid-bard was created, and the later bards were held to be depositories of a supposititious Druidic theosophy, while they practised the old rites in secret. The late word _derwydd_ was probably invented from _derw_, "oak," by some one who knew Pliny's derivation. See D'Arbois, _Les Druides_, 81. [1025] For these views see Dottin, 295; Holmes, 17; Bertrand, 192-193, 268-269. [1026] Diog. Laert. i. proem. 1. For other references see Caesar, vi. 13, 14; Strabo, iv. 4. 4; Amm. Marc. xv. 9; Diod. Sic, v. 28; Lucan, i. 460; Mela, iii. 2. [1027] Suet. _Claud._ 25; Mela, iii. 2. [1028] Pliny, xxx. 1. [1029] D'Arbois, _Les Druides_, 77. [1030] Diod. Sic. v. 31. 4. [1031] See Cicero, _de Div._ i. 41. [1032] Diod. Sic. v. 28; Amm. Marc. xv. 9; Hippolytus, _Refut. Haer._ i. 22. [1033] Amm. Marc. xv. 9. [1034] Caesar, vi. 14. [1035] Diog. Laert. 6. Celtic enthusiasts see in this triple maxim something akin to the Welsh triads, which they claim to be Druidic! [1036] Bertrand, 2
