Teutones

Also, although the kings of the Cimbri and Teutones carry what look like Celtic names, the origin of a name need not say anything about the ethnicity or language of the individual carrying the name.

Modern speakers of English still employ the word "Teutons" when describing Germanic peoples as a result.sfn Historically, the Teutones were only one specific tribe, and may not have even spoken a Germanic language.

Since Pytheas mentions the Teutones in the same passage, it securely dates them to 300 BC.

They split up in two groups in 103 BC, with the Teutones and Ambrones marching on a western route through the Provincia and the Cimbri and Tigurini crossing the eastern Alps (probably by the Brenner pass ).
