1120 TEGIANUM. katavdthra at the Tahi did not absorb quickly enous;li the waters of the marsh. The Garates therefore anciently flowed into the katavotiira at Persovd without having any connection with the Alpheius. It probably derived its name from Garea or Gareae, one of the ancient demi of Tegea, which may have been .situated at the village of Dhuliand. (Ross, Pehqjoimes, p. 70, seq. ; Leake, Peloponne- siaca, p. 112, seq.) There were five roads leading from Tegea. One led due N. across the Tegeatic phiin to Mantineia. [M.VNTiNEi.v.] A second led due S. by the valley of the Alpheius to Sparta, following the same route as the present road from TripoUtzd to Mistrd. A third led west to Pallantiuni. It first passed by the small mountain Cresium (Kpriaiov), and then ran across the Manthyric plain along the side of the Tttki. Mount Cresium is probably the small isolated hill on which the modern village of Vunb stands, and not the high mountain at the end of the plain, according to the French map. Upon reaching the Choma (xc^iUa), the road divided into two, one road leading direct to Palkintium, and the other SW. to Megalopolis through Asea. (Pans, viii. 44. § 1, seq.; Xen. Hell.V. 5. § 9, al eVJ rh ilaWduTiov (pipovcrai irvai.) This choma separated the territories of Pallantiuni and Tegea, and extended as far south as Mount Boreium (^Krdvori), where it touched the territory of Megalo- polis. There are still remains of this choma running NE. to SW. by the side of the marsh of Taki. These remains consist of large blocks of stone, and must be regarded as the foundations of the choma, which cannot have been a chaussee or causeway, as the French geographers call it, since X'^H-^ always sig- nifies in Greek writers an artificial heap of earth, a tumulus, mound, or dyke. (Ross, p. .59.) A fourth road led SE. from Tegea, by the sources of the Garates to Thyreatis. (Pans. viii. 54. § 4.) A fifth road led NE. to Hysiae and Argos, across the Corythic plain, and then across Mt. Parthe- nium, where was a temple of Pan, erected on the spot at which the god appeared to the cou- rier Pheidippides. This road was practicable for carriages, and was much frequented. (Pans. viii. 54. § 5, seq.; Herod, vi. 105, 106; Diet, uf Biogr. art. PnEiDipriDKS.) (Leake, 3Iorea, vol. i. p. 88, seq., vol. ii. p. 333, Peloponnesiaca, pp. 112, seq., 369; ¥^oss, Peloponnes, p. 66, seq. ; Curtius, Pefo- ponnesos, vol. i. p. 247, seq.; Koner, Com. de Pebus Tegeatarum, Berol. 1843.) The Roman poets use the adjective Tegeeus or Tegeaeus as equivalent to Arcadian: thus it is given as an epithet to Pan (Virg. Georg. i. 18), Cal- iisto, daughter of Lycaon (Ov. Ar. Am. ii. 55, Fast. ii. 167), Atalanta (Ov. Met. viii. 317, 380), Carmenta (Ov. Fast. i. 627), and Mercury (Stat. Silv. i. 54) COIN OF TEGE.. TEGIA'NUM {Eth. Tegianensis: 7)wno), a mu- nicipal town of Lucania, situated in the interior of that country, on the left bank of the river Tanager. Its n.ime is found only in a corrupt form in Pliny, TEGYRA. who enumerates the Tergilani among the " populi " in the interior of Lucania (Plin. iii. 11. s. 15) ; but the Liber Coloniarum mentions the " Praefectura Tegenensis " among the Praefecturae of Lucania {Lib. Col. p. 209), and tiie correct form of the name is preserved by inscriptions. From the same source we learn that it was a town of municipal rank, while the discovery of them in the neighbourhood of Piano leaves no doubt that that place represents the ancient Tegianum. (Eomanelli, vol. i. p. 415 ; Mommsen, In^cr. R. N. pp. 18, 19.) The modern city of Diano is a considerable place situated on a hill about 4 miles west of La Sola, and gives tbe name of Valle di Diano to the whole of the exten- sive upland valley which is traversed by the river Ta- nagro in the upper part of its course. Some re- mains of the ancient city are still visible in the plain at the foot of the hill (Romanelli. I. c). [E. H. B.] TEGLI'CIUM {Itin. Ant. p. 223), Tegulicium {Tab. Pent.), and Tegulitia (Geogr. Rav. iv. 7), a place in Moesia Inferior, on the road between Can- didiana and Dorostolum. It contained, according to the Not. Imp., a garrison of light troops. Variously placed near Vete?-nicza and Tataritza. Some mo- dern writers identify it with the fortress in Bloesia called Saltopyrgus by Procopius (de Aedif. iv. 7.) [T. h. b.] TEGNA, in Gallia Narbonensis, was on the Ro- man road on the east bank of the Rhone between Vienna ( Vienne) and Valentia ( Vale?ice). The name occurs in the Table, in which the place is fixed at siii. from Valentia. Tegna is Tein, the name of which in the writings of a later date is Tinctum. A milestone at Tein marks the distance to Vienna ssxviii. Tein is right opposite to Tournon, which is on the west side of the river. Tournon is well situated, and the mountains there approach close to the Rhone. (D'Anville, Notice, tfc; XJkert, Gal- lien.) [G. L.] TEGRA. [Tigra.] TEGULATA, in Gallia Narbonensis, is placed in the Itins. east of Aquae Sextiae {Aix) on the road to Ad Turrim {Tuurves}. The distance from Aquae Sextiae to Tegulata is xv. or xvi., and from Tegu- lata to Ad Turrim xvi. The distance measured along the road between Aquae Sextiae and Ad Turrim is said to exceed the direct distance between tliese two places, which is not more than 28 Roman miles. Tegulata is supposed to be La Grande Peigieve, near the bourg of Porrieres or Pourrieres, perhaps somewhere about the place where C. Marius defeated the Teutones b. c. 102, and where a pyramid was erected to commemorate the great victory. This monument is said to have existed to the fifteenth cen- tury (A. Thierry, Hist., des Gaulois, Deux. Pavtie, c. 3); and the tradition of this great battle is not yet effaced. Pourrieres is said to be a corruption of Putridi Campi. (D'Anville, Notice, ij-c.) [G. L.] TEGULICIUM [Tegliciuji]. TEGYRA {Teyvpa : Eth. Teyvpevs), a village of Boeotia, near Orchomenus, and situated above the marshes of the river JMelas. It was celebrated for its oracle and Temple of Apollo, who was even said to have been born there. In its neighbourhood was a mountain named Delos. Leake places Tegyra at Xeropyrgo, situated 3 miles ENE. of Skrijni (Orchomenus), on the heights which bound the marshes. (Flut. PcZo/j. IQ^de Def. Or. 5 and 8 ; Lycophr. 646; Steph.
