Tude

TUDE(Τοῦδαιand Τοῦνδαι, Ptol 2.6.45), a fort or castle of the Gruii or Gravii, in Hispania Tarraconensis, E. of Limia, and on the road from Bracara to Asturica. ( Itin. Ant. p. 429.) It is called Tyde by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 4.20. s. 34), and according to an ancient tradition it was the seat of an Aetolian colony under Diomed; a tale probably occasioned by the similarity of its name to that of Tydeus. (Sil. Ital., 16.369; Plin. l. c.;Avien. Descr. Orb. 650.) It is the modern Tuy.
