TheSoti were an ancientLigurian tribe.
They are mentioned asSoti byPliny (1st c. AD).[1]
F. Rubat Borel has proposed to emendSoti toSotani (based on a confusion of -an- with -iu- by copyists), and identify them with theStoeni, a tribe fromLake Como.[2]
The name may also be compared with thevinum Sotanum, cultivated in the territory of Vienna (modernVienne), the capital of theAllobroges.[2]
They are listed among the "Ligurians beyond the Alps" (Ligurum celeberrimi ultra Alpes) by Pliny.[2]
