The Segobrigii or Segobriges were a Celto-Ligurian people dwelling in the hinterland of the Greek colony of Massalia (modern Marseille) during the Iron Age. They are mentioned in the founding myth of Massalia, recounted by the Greek philosopher Aristotle and by Pompeius Trogus, a Gallo-Roman writer who lived among the nearby Vocontii in the 1st century BC. Built around the historical founding of the city by Greek settlers ca. 600 BC, the legend tells how the daughter of the Segobrigian king Nannus chose a Phocaean sailor as her husband during her own wedding, the two of them eventually founding the colony of Massalia.

- Les Ségobriges faisaient partie des peuples celto-ligures. Ils habitaient une partie de l'actuel département des Bouches-du-Rhône. Ce peuple est déjà bien caractérisé au Premier Âge du Fer ce qui est une ancienneté remarquable pour la région. Leur chef-lieu était Lacydon. C'est l'actuel Vieux-Port de Marseille. Ils ont donc été le premier peuple en contact avec les Phocéens qui débarquèrent dans ce port. Le Mythe fondateur de Marseille raconte que Gyptis, fille du roi des Ségobriges, tomba amoureuse de Protis, un marin de Phocée. (fr)

From there, sailing into the distant bays of Gaul, they founded Massilia among the Ligurians and the fierce tribes of the Gauls; and they did mighty deeds, whether in protecting themselves against the savagery of the Gauls or in provoking them to fight—having themselves first been provoked.

- Euxenus happened to be visiting when this Nanos was celebrating his daughter's wedding, and he was invited to the feast. The wedding was organized as follows: After the meal, the girl had to come in and offer a bowl full of wine mixed with water to whichever suitor there she wanted, and whoever she gave it to would be her bridegroom. When the girl entered the room, she gave the bowl, either by accident or for some other reason, to Euxenus; her name was Petta. (en)
- It so happened that on that day the king was engaged in arranging the marriage of his daughter Gyptis: in accordance with the custom of the tribe, he was preparing to give her to be married to a son-in-law chosen at a banquet. So since all the suitors had been invited to the wedding, the Greek guests too were asked to the feast. Then the girl was brought in, and when she was asked by her father to offer water to the man she chose as her husband, she passed them all over and, turning to the Greeks, gave the water to Protis...
