Athenaios 154 A-C berichtet:
Posidonius says in Bk XXIII of the History: “The Celts sometimes engage in duels during dinner [Ποσειδώνιος δ’ ἐν τρίτῃ καὶ εἰκοστῇ τῶν Ἱστοριῶν Κέλτοι, φησίν, ἐνίστε παρὰ τὸ δεῖπνον μονομαχοῦσιν]. After assembling fully armed, they shadow fence and spar with each other, and sometimes even go to the length of inflicting a wound, and roused by this, unless the bystanders stop it, as far as the kill.

But in ancient times,” he says, “when whole joints were served, the best man would get the thigh; but if someone else claimed it, they would join in a duel to the death. Others again would collect silver or gold from a public audience, or in some cases a quantity of jars of wine, and securing the gift by pledge and distributing it to their nearest and dearest, would lie stretched out on their backs on their shields, whereupon a man would take his place by the victim on the shield and cut off his head.”

(Posidonius. Volume I: The Fragments, Vol. III: The Translation of the Fragments. Ed. by L. Edelstein & I. G. Kidd. Cambridge 2004. pp. 86, 136)
