a branch or division of the druids, or ancient Celtic philosophers. Strabo divides the British and Gaulish philosophers into three sects; bards, evates, and druids. He adds, that the bards were the poets and musicians; the evates, the priests and naturalists; and the druids were moralists as well as naturalists: But Marcellus and Hornius reduce them all to two sects, viz., the Bards and Druids.
