' The Mazices (Amm. Marc. xxix. 5. 31) or Mazaces 

 (Suet. Ner. 30 ; Luc. iv, 681 ; Claud. Stil. i. 3o6 ; Nemes. 

 26]), Mctj-i'es (Hecat. fr. 304 ; Steph. Byz. Md^ues- oi Ai^vr)s

 foixii'ovTes eKTrjffdai, rolai ovvona K^erai M.) were a people of 

 Mauretaiiia famous for horsemanship. See C. iv. 30 n. As 

 Mazaca was an old name for Caesarea'in Cappadocia, there 

 is sometimes a doubt as to the reference.
