      When the main body under Brennus marched southwards into Macedonia and Greece (<date when-custom="-279">B. C. 279</date>), Leonnorius and Lutarius led a detachment, 20,000 strong, into
      Thrace, where they ravaged the country to the shores of the Hellespont, compelled the
      Byzantines to pay them tribute, and made themselves masters of Lysimachia. The rich Asiatic
      shores of the Hellespont afforded them a tempting prospect; and while Leonnorius returned to
      Byzantium, in order to compel the inhabitants of that city to give him the means of
      transporting his troops to Asia, Lutarius contrived to capture a few vessels, with which he
      conveyed all the force remaining under his command across the Hellespont. While Leonnorius was
      still before Byzantium, Nicomedes, king of Bithynia, being in want of support in his war with
      Antiochus, agreed to take him and his troops, as well as those of Lutarius, into his pay, and
      furnished them with the means of passing over into Asia (<date when-custom="-278">B. C. 278</date>).
      They first assisted him against his rival, Zipoetes, in Bithynia; after which they made
      plundering excursions through various parts of Asia; and ultimately established themselves in
      the province, called thenceforth from the name of its barbarian conquerors, Galatia. No
      farther mention is made of either of the leaders after they had crossed into Asia. (Memnon. c.
