^ They dwelt in the modern department of the Oise, with Beauvais 

 (which stUl retains their name) for their chief town. 



■^ D'Anville is of opinion that the place called Haiz or Hez in the 

 diocese of Beauvais, received its name from this people, of whom nothing 

 else is known. The name is omitted iti several of the editions. 



3 D'Anville is of opinion that thefr chief town was situate at the 

 modern Chaom-s, at the passage of the river Serre, not far from Vervias 

 in the dejjartment of the Aisne. 



* Accordhig to Ptolemy their chief town would be on the site of the 

 modern Orchies in the department du Nord, but Csesar makes it to be 

 Nemetacum, the modem Arras, the capital of the department of the 

 Pas de Calais. 



^ According to Ansart their chief town was Bavai, in the department 

 du Nord. They are called " Liberi," or free, because they were left at 

 liberty to enjoy their own laws and institutions. 



® Their capital was Augusta Yeromanduorum, and it has been sug- 

 gested that the place called Vermand, in the department de 1' Aisne, de- 

 notes its site ; but according to BeUay and D'Anville the city of St. 

 Quentin, which was formerly called Aouste, mai'ks the spot. 



7 Nothing whatever is known of them, and it is suggested by the com- 

 mentators that this is a corrupted form of the name of the Suessiones, 

 which follows. 



^ They gave name to Soissons in the southern part of the department 

 de I'Aisue. 



^ It has been suggested that these are the same as the Silvanectes, 

 the inhabitants of Senhs in the department de I'Oise.

 Limboiu'g. 



^1 They are supposed to have dwelt ia the eastern part of the province 

 of Lunbourg. 



^2 They probably dwelt between the Sunuci and the Betasi. 



^3 They are supposed to have dwelt in the western part of the province 

 of Limbourg, on the confines of that province and South Brabant, in the 

 vicinity probably of the place wliich still bears the name of Beetz, upon 

 the river Gette, between Leau and Haclen, seven miles to the east of 

 Louvain. 



^* According to Ptolemy the Leuci dwelt on the sites of Toul in the 

 department of the Meurthe, and of Nais or Nays in that of the Meuse.
