158 Flint's katueal history. [Book III. j 



turns away from the Funeral Pile^ of Scipio ; then taking a 

 sweep to the left, it falls into the Atlantic Ocean, giving its 

 name to this province: at its source it is but small, though 

 during its course it receives many other streams, which it de- 

 prives as well of their waters as their renown. It first enters 

 Bastica in Ossigita-nia'^, and glides gently, with a smooth 

 current, past many towns situate on either side of its banks. 

 Between this river and the sea-shore the most celebrated 

 places inland are Segida^, also surnamed Augurina ; Julia^, 

 called Fidentia; Urgao^ or Alba, Ebora^ or Cerealis, Ili- 

 berri'' or Liberini, Ilipula^ or Laus, Artigi^ or Julienses, 

 Vesci^*^ or Faventia, Singili", Attegua^'^, Arialdunum, Agla 

 Minor", Baebro^^, Castra Yinaria^^, Cisimbrium^*', Hippo 



^ This place is even now called by the inliabitants Sepulcro de Scipion. 

 Cneius Cornelius Scipio Calvus, aftei' tlie defeat of his brother P. Cor- 

 nehus Scipio, in the year B.C. 211, by the forces of Asdrubal and Mago, 

 fled to a tower at this spot, which was set fire to by the troops of Asdrubal, 

 and he perished in the flames. 



2 So called from the town of Ossigi afterwards mentioned. 



3 It is unknown where this place stood ; Medina Sidonia has been 

 suggested. 



■* Probably the present Fuentes del Eey, between Andujar and Jaen, 

 according to Pinet. 



^ D'Anville suggests that this is the present Arjona ; but more pro- 

 bably it was the village of Arjonilla, two leagues south of Andujar. 

 Gruterhas an inscription found here, "mukic . albense ue&anon." 



^ There were five cities of this name in Spam. Hardouin tliinks that 

 this is the modem Alcala la Real, between Granada and Cordova. 



^ Most pi'obably the modern Sierra de Elvu*a, though some writers 

 have suggested the city of Granada. 



8 Probably near the modern Montilla. Hardouin takes it to be the 

 present Granada. 



^ Poinsinet thinks that this is the present Ecija, but other writers take 

 it to be Alhama, between Granada and Malaga. 



^0 Perhaps the present Archidona. Some writers have suggested the 

 modem Faventia and Velez. 



" Probably near the present Puente de Don Gonzalo, on the banks of 

 the Rio Genii. 



^2 Probably near Agiular on the river Cabra ; or else the present Teba, 

 between Osima and Antequera. ^^ Agla the Less. 



^* Probably the present Cabra. The sites of the two preceding towns 

 are not known. 



15 « rpjjQ Encampment in the Yineyards." Probably this was the same i 

 as the Castra Postumiana mentioned by Hirtius in his Book on the Spa- 

 nish War as being four miles from Attegua. It appears to be the pre- 

 sent Castro, or Castro el Rio, situate on the banks of the river Guadajoz. 



1^ In some readings " Episibrium." Probably the present Espeja.
