an ancient people of Germany, who seem to have taken their name from their situation on the limits or marches, to the east of the Higher Rhine, and the north of the Danube. Cluverius allots to them the duchy of Wurtemburg, a part of the palatinate between the Rhine and the Necker, the Brisgau, and a part of Swabia, lying between the springs of the Danube and the river Bregenz; they afterwards removed to the country of the Boii, whom they expelled and forced to withdraw more to the east, occupying what is now called Bohemia. (Strabo, Vel- leius).
