Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Tauroeis: Tauroeis, a Celtic city, a colony of the Massaliotes. Artemidorus in the first book of the Geographoumena says that the ship which carried the founders of the city bore a bull; they, having been cast off from the fleet of the Phocaeans and carried ashore there, named the city from the emblem of the ship. The ethnonym 'Tauroentioi'.
