Betacode

*)abrio/rhc: o)/noma ku/rion.

Attested only here and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon in this form ending eta-xi; nevertheless this is surely Abriorix (a.k.a. Ambiorix), leader of the Gallic Eburones against Julius Caesar in 54-53 BCE. The spelling *)ambio/ric appears once in Plutarch and frequently in Cassius Dio.
