The theory of the non-Celtic origin of the Druids assumes that the Celts had no priests, or that these were effaced by the Druids. The Celts had priests called _gutuatri_ attached to certain temples, their name perhaps meaning "the speakers," those who spoke to the gods.[1014] The functions of the Druids were much more general, according to this theory, hence M. D'Arbois supposes that, before their intrusion, the Celts had no other priests than the _gutuatri_.[1015] But the probability is that they were a Druidic class, ministers of local sanctuaries, and related to the Druids as the Levites were to the priests of Israel, since the Druids were a composite priesthood with a variety of functions. If the priests and servants of Belenos, described by Ausonius and called by him _oedituus Beleni_, were _gutuatri_, then the latter must have been connected with the Druids, since he says they were of Druidic stock.[1016] Lucan's "priest of the grove" may have been a _gutuatros_, and the priests (_sacerdotes_) and other ministers (_antistites_) of the Boii may have been Druids properly so called and _gutuatri_.[1017] Another class of temple servants may have existed. Names beginning with the name of a god and ending in _gnatos_, "accustomed to," "beloved of," occur in inscriptions, and may denote persons consecrated from their youth to the service of a grove or temple. On the other hand, the names may mean no more than that those bearing them were devoted to the cult of one particular god.
