From Wikipedia
The Boiates or Boates were an ancient Celtic tribe living in Gallia Aquitania during the Roman period. Their territory was located in the southern part of the Gironde estuary, in the region known as the Pays de Buch. Although their ethnonym has been compared with that of the Central European Boii and with the Basaboiates mentioned by Pliny the Elder, their origins remain unclear. Some scholars have suggested that their settlement in the region resulted from Celtic migrations from a northern homeland, comparable to those of the Bituriges Vivisci. The Boiates formed a civitas whose capital is generally identified with Boios (modern Lamothe, Biganos). This urban centre appears to have declined early in the Roman period. By late antiquity, the civitas Boatium was dependent on Bordeaux.
