etimologia de galatas

etymology of Galatians is written incorrectly and should be written as "Galatians" being its meaning:
The Galatians are the inhabitants of Galatia, Roman province of the region of Anatolia in the Centre of the ancient Asia minor, today Turkey. This area was conquered by Rome, however by the testimony of St. Paul, who wrote them a letter in the middle of the first century after having visited, we know that they kept the galata language. These shepherds and farmers from German lands of Northern Gaul who emigrated in the third century a. d. C. gave the name to the region. The name of galata, according to the most probable version, comes from the Roman province of Gaul who gave Galatia. Galicia in Spain also received Celtic Gaul tribes and therefore was called Gallaecia, very close phonetically to Galatia.
