  We show explicitly that the nonminimal coupling between the scalar field and
the Ricci scalar in 2D dilaton gravity can be recast in the form of kinetic
gravity braiding (KGB). This is as it should be, because KGB is the 2D version
of the Horndeski theory. We also determine all the static solutions with a
linearly time-dependent scalar configuration in the shift-symmetric KGB
theories in 2D.
