GABALI

GA´BALIor GABALES(Γαβάλεις, Strab. p. 191). The Ruteni and the Gabales,says Strabo, border on the Narbonitis.In Caesar's time the Gabali were under the supremacy of the Arverni. ( B. G. 7.75.) In another passage, he speaks of the Gabalos proximosque pagos Arvernorum( B. G. 7.64). Their position is in a mountainous country between the Arverni and the Helvii. It corresponds to the Gévaudanof the ante-revolutionary history of France, a name derived from the middle-age term Gavaldanum, and nearly to the present department of Lozère.:There were silver mines in the country of the Ruteni and Gabali (Strabo). The cheese of this country was famed at Rome (Plin. Nat. 11.42); it came from the Lesorae Gabalicique pagi.The Lesora is the mountain Lozère. Sidonius Apollonaris ( Carm. 24.27) says, Tum terram Gabalum satis nivosam.

A large part of it is a cold, mountainous country. The chief town of the Gabali, according to Ptolemy, is Anderitum. [ANDERITUM]
