wherein is Hetruria, from the River Macra : and itself, 

 with the Names often changed. In old Time the Pelasgi 

 drove the Umbri from thence : and by them the Lydi did 

 the like, of whose King they were named Tyrrheni: but 

 soon after, of their Ceremonies in Sacrificing, in the Greek 

 Language Thusci. The first Town of Hetruria is Luna, with 

 a famous Harbour ; then the Colony Luca, lying from the 

 Sea : and nearer to it is Pisae, between the River Auser 

 and Arnus, which took the Beginning from Pelops and the 

 Pisi, or Atintani, a Greek Nation. Vada Vollaterranea, the 

 River Cecinna. Populonium of the Hetrusci, in Times past 

 situate only upon this Coast. After these, the Rivers Prille, 

 and, soon after, Umbro, navigable : so forward the Tract of 

 Umbria, and the PortTelamon : Cossa Volscientium, planted 

 by the People of Rome ; Graviscae, Castrum Novum, Pyrgi,

 and, before that, Albula, from almost the middle of the
