The Greeks (so told by [[Strabo]], b. 63 BC-d. 24 BC) knew the settlers resided on the north of the river [[Douro]] by the name of [[Kallaikoi]], later the name Kallaikoi was translated into Latin as Gallaeci, Callaeci or Gallaicoi.

The Leabhar Gabhala defines finally a last war (in some versions of the texts, the last is the Langobardi one, nevertheless) or battle that took place in Spain: the war against the Barchu or Barchunes.
