The opening
THE ARGUMENT OF THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO THE GALATIANS.
What part of Asia was inhabited by the Galatians, and what were the boundaries of their country, is well known; but whence they originally came is not agreed among historians. It is universally admitted that they were Gauls, and, on that account, were denominated Gallo-Grecians. But from what part of Gaul they came it is more difficult to determine.
Strabo thought that the Tectosages came from Gallia Narbonensis, and that the remainder were Celtae; and this opinion has been generally adopted. But, as Pliny enumerates the Ambiani among the Tectosagi, and as it is universally agreed that they were allied to the Tolistobogi, who dwelt on the banks of the Rhine, I think it more probable that, they were Belgians, whose territory extended from a very distant part of the course of the Rhine to the English Channel. The Tolistobogi inhabited that part which receives from its present inhabitants the names of Cleves and Brabant.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
