 The nearest village to the Sordones and part of the land occupied by the Aticini was called "Axat" and this name, which is a simple inversion of "Atax" marks the exact point of division between the two tribes of "Sordones" and "Atacini".The Barony became a Marquisate in 1776 according to Eric Thiou and was extinguished in 1788.It became a courtesy title borrowed by "Philippe du Puy de Clinchamps".
