522 Rev. Mr Wixu1ams on one Source of the 
added, a long list of Italian streams bearing the same names as 
rivers in our island. Such are the 
' Duria Major, 
Duria Minor, 
Turia, 
Sturia, 
° 'Tinna, 
+The Umbro. 
The Ambra, 
° The Truentum, 
1 Dwr, pronounced Door, is the common name among the Cumrian tribes for 
water, river, sea. The two Duriz, tributaries of the upper Po, are still called 
Doria Baltea, and Doria Riparia. The Turia, a small tributary of the Tiber, 
about six miles from Rome, is not recognised by modern geographers. The Stura 
still retaining its ancient name, is also a tributary of the upper Po. In the Sussex 
Adur, and the Kentish Stour, we still retain the original appellations. There was 
also a river in Latium, called both Astura and Stura, now Store. 
2 Now Timia, in Umbria. 
8 Still called Tinna, in Picenum. Both synonymous with our Tyne, and with 
another Italian Tinea, a tributary of the Var. 
4 Cramer, Vol. i. p. 191, has the following observation :—* A short distance 
from the lake Prilis brings us to the mouth of the Ombrone, anciently Umbro, one 
of the most considerable rivers of Etruria. It is represented as navigable by Pliny, 
and its name, as the same writer observes, is indicative of the Umbri having once 
been in possession of Etruria.” The strength of the argument is doubled, by the 
occurrence of a second Umbro in Etruria, not far from Arretium, called by Cramer, 
Ambra, but written Umbro in the Peutingerian tables. The British Humber, or 
Humyr, is evidently the same name, and equally conclusive of the presence of the 
Umbri in Britain. 
* Truentum, now called Tronto, isin Picenum. TheTraens, not far from Sybaris, 
bears the modern name of Trionto. They are both evidently the same word ; the 
first being the Latinized, and the other the Hellenized form. ‘Che Greeks seem, 
as I shall have further occasion to remark, to have formed imaginary nominatives, 
in order to reduce the Italian names to the analogy of their own declensions. The
