IvpiTER Cetivs. Ptolemy makes mention of a 
large mountain in Germany, which he calls K/t/o 5, 
and defcribes as the eaftern boundary of Noricim (i), 
by which it was feparated from Pannonia^ now 
Hungary. From this mountain it feems highly pro- 
bable, that the name Cetius might be given to Ju- 
piter, as its tutelar deity. So likewdfe he w'as filled 
'Cafius from a mountain of that narne in Aegypt, 
where, as Strabo informs us, a temple was eredted 
to him under the title of Aios Kacr/8 (2). And indeed 
there was fcarce any mountain, or other place, of 
confiderable note, where fome pagan deity, either 
male or female, was not more particularly w^orfliiped 
as its protedlor and guardian, tho at the fame time 
they had their votaries likewife elfewhere. There 
was alfo a town called Cetium, which was fituated at 
the foot of this mountain, towards the Danube, and 
not far from (3). It is mentioned both in 
Antonine’i Itmerary (3.) and Peutingerh Tables, tho 
in the latter it is corruptly writen Citium (^) ; for it 
plainly appears, that the fame town was deligned in 
each, by its fituation. However it feems more pro- 
bable, that Jupiter had the title Cetius afcribed to 
him from the mountain, to which the town likewife 
owed its name ; tho let either be fuppofed, it will 
make no difference, w'ith regard to the explication
