Sibusaten
The suburates even Sibulaten , Suburaten , Sybillaten ( Latin Sibusates or Sibulates ) were a likely proto- Basque or Celtic tribe , whose residence in the later Roman province of Gallia Aquitania was. Their tribal area was in the historic Basque region of Soule ( Zuberoa in standard Basque , Xiberoa or Xiberua , pronounced in the local dialect [ ʃiberua ]), whose name is derived from the tribal name. The name Subola for Soule appears for the first time in a report from the year 635, when the residents fought off a Burgundian - Franconian attack.
The Sibusati probably spoke an Aquitaine dialect , a forerunner of Basque.
In the Gallic War , a general of Caesar , the Legate Publius Licinius Crassus , marched in 56 BC. In Aquitaine (the later Roman province of Novempopulana ). After some victories of the Romans, most of the Aquitaine tribes surrendered ; to be named the Tarbeller , bigerriones , Ptianier , Vasaten (also Vocaten ) Tarusaten , elusates , Gater , ausci , Garumner , Sibulaten and Cocosaten . Whether the names, including those of the Sibulates / Sibusates , are Celtic cannot be stated with certainty. Some modern authors include some of the Celtiberians .
