CHAP. 28. (25.) — PANNONIA. 



Next to them comes acorn-bearing Pannonia^, along 

 which the chain of the Alps, gradually lessening as it runs 

 through the middle of Illyricum from north to south, forms 

 a gentle slope on the right hand and the left. The portion 

 which looks towards the Adriatic Sea is called Dalmatia 

 and Illyricum, above mentioned, while Pannonia stretches 

 away towards the north, and has the Danube for its extreme 

 boundary. In it are the colonies of -^mona' and Siscia. 

 The following rivers, both known to fame and adapted for 

 commerce, flow into the Danube ; the Draus®, which rushes 

 from Noricum with great impetuosity, and the Sa\Tis^, which 

 flows with a more gentle current from the Carnic Alps, there 

 being a space between them of 120 miles. The Draus runs 

 through the Serretes, the Serrapilli^, the lasi, and the An- 

 dizetes ; the Savus through the Colapiani^ and the Breuci ; 

 these are the principal peoples. Besides them there are 

 the Arivates, the Azali, the Amantini, the Belgites, the 

 Catari, the Cornacates, the Eravisci, the Hercuniates*", the

 Balaton, on the confines of ancient Noricimi and Pannonia.

 Hungary.

* This province corresponded to the eastern part of Austria, Styria, 

 Carinthia, Camiola, the whole of Hungary between the Danube and 

 Saave, Slavonia, and part of Croatia and Bosnia. It was reduced by 

 Tiberius, acting imder the orders of Augustus. 



^ Now Laybach, previously mentioned in c. 22. Sissia has been suc- 

 ceeded by the modem Sissek on the Saave. 



6 The modem Draave or Drau. ^ Now the Sau or Saave. 



8 According to Hardouin the Serretes and the SerrapUli inhabited 

 the modem Carinthia on both sides of the Draave. The sites of the other 

 nations here mentioned are unknown. 



* So called from the river Colapis. The other tribes are imknown.
