Cluverius allots to them the duchy of Wurtemberg, part of the palatinate between the Rhine and the Neckar, the Brisgau, and that part of Suabia
Marcians situated between the springs of the Danube and the river Bregentz. They afterwards removed to the country of the Boii, whom they expelled and forced to withdraw more to the eastward, occupying what is now called Bohemia.
