CORISOPITI
Eth.
CORISOPITI a Gallic people, not mentioned by any authority earlier than the Notitia.
In the middle ages the diocese of
Quimper was called Corisopitensis, and it is therefore certain that the Corisopiti occupied the diocese of
Quimper in
Bretagne. Quimper is now in the department of
Finistere. There are good reasons for supposing that the Corisopiti were a small tribe dependent on the Osismii, whom Caesar mentions (
B. G. 3.9).
