Omani

Λούγιοι οἱ Ὀμανοί

Eth. Omani or OMANNI (Λούγιοι οἱ Ὀμανοί or Ὀμαννοί), a branch of the Lygii, in the NE. of Germany, between the Oder and the Vistula, to the S. of the Burgundiones, and to the N. of the Lygii Diduni (Ptol. 2.11.18). Tacitus (Germ. 43) in enumerating the tribes of the Lygii does not mention the Omani, but a tribe occurs in his list bearing the name of Manimi, which from its resemblance is generally regarded as identical with the Omani. But nothing certain can be said.
