battles of Hercules ; the district of the Aiiatilii\ and more 

 inland, that of the Desuviates'-^ and tlie Cavari. Again, close 

 upon the sea, there is that of the Tricorii^, and inland, there 

 are the Tricolli"*, the Vocontii^ and the Segovellauni, and, 

 after them, the Allobroges". 



On the coast is Massilia, a colony of Phocaean^ Greeks, 

 and a federate^ city ; we then have the Promontory of Zao^, 

 the port of Cithari'sta'", and the district of the Camatullici^' ; 

 then the Suelteri^-, and above them the Yerrucini^^. Again, 



bat of Hercules, and Mela relates that being engaged in a mortal struggle 

 with Albion and G-eryon, the sons of Keptune, he invoked the aid of 

 Jupiter, on wliich a shower of stones fell from the heavens and destroyed 

 his antagonists. Those on tliis plain are said to be the reniams of the 

 stony shower. It is supposed by the scientific that many of these stones 

 are aerohtes, and that trachtion has ingeniously adapted this stor^^ to 

 tlieh real origin. The vicinity of Tunbridge Wells presents a somewhat 

 similar appearance. 



1 The people probably of the site of the present isle of Camargue. 



2 They probably inhabited the district south of the Durance, between 

 it and the Rhone.

7 It was said to have been colonized from Phocfca, a town of Ionia in 

 Asia Minor. Lucan in his Third Book more than once falls into the 

 error of supposing that it was colonized from Phocis in Greece. 



8 We learn from Justin, B. xliii., that this privilege, as well as others, 

 and a seat at the public shows, were granted to the MassHians b\ the 

 Roman Ser ato, in return for their sympathy and assistance alter the city 

 had been taken and plundered by the Gauls. 



9 According to D' Anville the present Cap de I'Aigrc, though Manncrt 

 takes it to be the Cap de la Croisette. 



10 D' Anville takes this to be the same as the present Port de la Ciotat. 

 " Probably occupying the south-east of the department of the Var. 



It is supposed by Ilardoiiin that the village of Ramatuelle, near the coast, 

 Gouth of the Giilf of Grimaud, represents the ancient name ; and D' An- 

 ville and other writers are of the same oi)inion.

 was inliabited by them. 



^ They inhahited Verignon and Barjols in the southern part of the 

 department of the Var.
