LYGIJ

Volume 10 · 80 words · 1797 Edition

LIGI, Lugii, or Logiones (anc. geog.), a people of Germany, to the west of the Vistula, where it forms a bend like a crescent; Lidii, (Dio); Lugii, (Strabo); Logiones, (Zosimus). Their name Lugii is conjectured to be derived from their mutually close confederacy or league. The Vistula was their boundary to the north, east, and south, with mount Aesci-

burgius to the west. Now the whole of that country lying in women lies in Poland, on this side the Vistula.
