INCRIO´NES
Eth.
INCRIO´NES (
Ἰγκρίωνες), a tribe of the Sigambri, mentioned only by Ptolemy (
2.11. §. 9). They apparently occupied the southernmost part of the territory inhabited by the Sigambri. Some believe them to be the same as the Juhones of Tacitus (
Tac. Ann. 13.57), in whose territory an extensive conflagration of the soil occurred in A.D. 59,. Some place them near the mouth of the river
Lahn and the little town of
Engers; while others, with less probability, regard
Ingersheim, on the
Neckar, as the place once inhabited by the Incriones.
