Catti or Chatti of Cæsar (Strabo), placed on the Rhine: the reason of Cæsar's calling them thus does not appear, though considerably distant from the proper Suevi or Alemanni.
Suevi (Tacitus), a common name of the people situated between the Elbe and the Vistula, distinguished other- wise by particular names; as in Ptolemy, Suevi Angeli, Sue- vi Sennones.
Suevus (anc. geogr.), a river of Germany, thought to be the same with the Vistula or Oder, emptying itself at three mouths into the Baltic, the middlemost of which is called Swine or Swene; which last comes nearer the name Swena.
