BATI´NI
Eth.
BATI´NI (
Βατεινοί), a German tribe, which Ptolemy (
2.11.20) places between Mount Sudeta and Asciburgius. Some believe the Batini to have been the same as the Butones, who, together with other tribes, were subdued by Maroboduus. (
Strab. vii. p.290, where however Cramer reads
Γούτωνες) Modern writers connect the names Budissin or Budia with the ancient Butini. (See Kruse,
Budorgis, p. 113.)
