NUITHONES a German tribe, mentioned by Tacitus ( Germ. 40) as inhabiting the banks of the Albis ( Elbe), to the SW. of the Longobardi. They in common with other neighboring tribes worshipped Ertha, that is, the Earth. In some editions the name is written Nurtones; so that nothing definite can be said either in regard to the import of their name or to the exact locality they inhabited.
