Telo Martius
TELO MARTIUS(Toulon), in Gallia Narbonensis. This name is not mentioned by the geographers. It occurs in the Maritime Itin. and in the Notit. Imp. Occid., where a procurator Baphii Telonensis Galliarumis mentioned, which indicates the existence of a dyeing establishment there. In Lucan (Luc. 3.592) Telo is the name of a pilot or helmsman, and Oudendorp supposes that the poet gave the man this name because he was of the town Telo; which seems a strange conjecture. And again Silius (14.443) is supposed to allude to the same town, when he says--Et Neptunicolae transverberat ora Telonis.
The old Roman town is said to have been at or near Toulouzan, where the Lazaretto now is. ( Statist. du Dép. des Bouches du Rhône, referred to by Ukert, Gallien, p. 428.)
[G.L]Now Toulon; a port-town of Gallia Narbonensis on the Mediterranean. It was of little account until the later Empire.
