The Bercorcates were a people of Aquitania, named only in the list of Aquitanian peoples given by Pliny.[1] Nothing is known of them. They have been placed by conjecture in the high Pyrenees.[2]
Name
They are named once in Pliny's list of the peoples of Aquitania, between the Camponi and the Pinpedunni.[3][1] The name appears also in the variant form Bercordates. Paul-Marie Duval holds the people to be wholly unknown, and thought it pointless to connect the name with a Borodates on a Pyrenean inscription, which he took for a personal name.[1]
Geography
Duval lists the Bercorcates among the peoples of Pliny's list that cannot be located, but holds that they should be sought in the high valleys of the Pyrenees.[4] Jean-Pierre Bost sets them, with the other small mountain peoples, in the city of the Aquenses around Dax.[5]
