4. [66] Stokes derives _belinuntia_ from _beljo_-, a tree or leaf, Irish _bile_, _US_ 174. [67] Holder, _s.v._; Stokes, _US_ 197; Rh[^y]s, _HL_ 23; see p. 180, _infra_. [68] Diod. Sic. ii. 47. [69] Apoll. Rhod. iv. 609. [70] Albiorix, Alator, Arixo, Beladonnis, Barrex, Belatucadros, Bolvinnus, Braciaca, Britovis, Buxenus, Cabetius, Camulus, Cariocecius, Caturix, Cemenelus, Cicollius, Carrus, Cocosus, Cociduis, Condatis, Cnabetius, Corotiacus, Dinomogetimarus, Divanno, Dunatis, Glarinus, Halamardus, Harmogius, Ieusdriuus, Lacavus, Latabius, Leucetius, Leucimalacus, Lenus, Mullo, Medocius, Mogetius, Nabelcus, Neton, Ocelos, Ollondios, Rudianus, Rigisamus, Randosatis, Riga, Segomo, Sinatis, Smertatius, Toutates, Tritullus, Vesucius, Vincius, Vitucadros, Vorocius. See Holder, _s.v._ [71] D'Arbois, ii. 215; Rh[^y]s, _HL_ 37. [72] So Rh[^y]s, _HL_ 42. [73] Huebner, 61. [74] Holder, _s.v._; Lucan, i. 444 f. The opinions of writers who take this view are collected by Reinach, _RC_ xviii. 137. [75] Holder, _s.v._ The Gaulish name Camulogenus, "born of Cumel," represents the same idea as in Fionn's surname, MacCumall. [76] Athen. iv. 36; Dioscorides, ii. 110; Joyce, _SH_ ii. 116, 120; _IT_ i. 437, 697. [77] Pliny, _HN_ xviii. 7. [78] Gaidoz, _Le Dieu Gaulois de Soleil_; Reinach, _CS_ 98, _BF_ 35; Blanchet, i. 27. [79] Lucan, _Phar._ i. 444. Another form, Tanaros, may be simply the German Donar. [80] Loth, i. 270. [81] Gaidoz, _RC_ vi. 457; Reinach, _OS_ 65, 138; Blanchet, i. 160. The hammer is also associated with another Celtic Dispater, equated with Sylvanus, who was certainly not a thunder-god. [82] Reinach, _BF_ 137 f.; Courcelle-Seneuil, 115 f. [83] Barthelemy, _RC_ i. l f. [84] See Flouest, _Rev. Arch._ v. 17. [85] Reinach, _RC_ xvii. 45. [86] D'Arbois, ii. 126. He explains Nantosvelta as meaning "She who is brilliant in war." The goddess, however, has none of the attributes of a war-goddess. M. D'Arbois also saw in a bas-relief of the hammer-god, a female figure, and a child, the Gaulish equivalents of Balor, Ethne, and Lug (_RC_ xv. 236). M. Reinach regards Sucellos, Nantosvelta, and a bird which is figured with them, as the same trio, because pseudo-Plutarch (_de Fluv._ vi. 4) says that _lougos_ means "crow" in Celtic. This is more than doubtful. In any case Ethne has no warlike traits in Irish story, and as Lug and Balor were deadly enemies, it remains to be explained
