tiires\ the town of Noega^, and on a peninsula^, the Paesici. 

 Next to these we have, belonging to the jurisdiction of 

 Lueus'^, after passing the river Navilubio^, the Cibarei*', the 

 Egovarri, surnamed jSTamarini, the ladoni, the Arrotrebae^, 

 the Celtic Promontory, the rivers Plorius^ and JSTelo, the 

 Celtici^, surnamed Neri, and above them the Tamarici^'^, in 

 Avhose peninsula^^ are the three altars called Sestianae, and 

 dedicated*" to Augustus ; the Capori*^, the town of Noela*^, 

 the Celtici surnamed Praesamarci, and the Cileni*^ : of the 

 islands, those worthy of mention are Corticata*^ and Aunios. 

 After passing the Cileni, belonging to the jims diction of the 

 Bracari*', we have the Heleni*^, the Grravii*^, and the fortress 

 of Tyde, all of them deriving their origin from the Greeks. 



* They are supposed to have occupied the greater part of the princi- 

 pahty of the Astiirias and the province of Leon. 



2 Ilardouin and Mannert consider tliis to be identical with Navia or 

 Nava, six miles to the east of Oviedo, an obscure place in the interior. 

 Ansart liowever would identify it with Villaviciosa. 



3 No doubt the headland now known as the Cabo de Pena3. 

 ^ Now Lugo in Q-aUicia. 



* Supposed by Ansart to be the Rio Caneiro, into which the Rio 

 Labio discharges itself. 



^ Supposed by Ansart to have dwelt in the vicinity of the Celtic pro- 

 montory, now Cabo de Finisterra or Cape Finisterre. Of the Egovarri 

 and ladoni nothing whatever is known. 



7 Their towns are mentioned by Ptolemy as being situate on a bay 

 near Nerium or the promontory of Cape Fiuisterre. 



s Mannert thinks that the Nelo is the same as the Rio Allones ; the Flo- 

 rins seems not to have been identified. 



^ The inhabitants of Cape Finisterre. 



^0 DweUing on the banks of the river wliich from them takes its 

 modern name of Tambre. 



^' Mannert and Ansart are of opinion that this peninsula was probably 

 the modem Cabo Tamnnan or Cabo Yillano, most probably the latter. 



^2 On the occasion probably of liis expedition against the Cantabri. 



^3 Their towns, Iria Flavia and Lacus Augusti, lay in the mterior, on 

 the sites of the present Santiago de ComposteUa and Lugo. 



^* Probably the modern Noya. 



^* They are supposed to have occupied the district in wliich the warm 

 springs are found, which are known as Caldas de Contis andCaldas deRey. 



^^ It is suggested by Ansart that the islands here meant are those called 

 Carreira, at the mouth of the river TJlla, and the Islas de 0ns, at the 

 mouth of the Tenario. ''7 See B. iii. c. 4. 



^^ Inhabiting the vicinity of the modem Pontevedra. 



*' According to Ptolemy also their town was Tudae, the modem Tuy.
