* Their chief town stood on the site of Angers, in the department- of 

 the Maine et Loire. 



2 D'Anville says that their chief town stood on the spot now known 

 as Vieux, two leagues from Caen, in the department of Calvados. 



^ The reading here is not improbably " Vadicasses." If so, they were a 

 people situate at a great distance from the other tribes here mentioned 

 by Pliny. They dwelt in the department De I'Oise, in the district for- 

 merly known as Valois, their chief town or city occupying the site of Vez, 

 not mr from Villers Cotterets. 



* D'Anville assigns to the Venelli, or TJneUi, as some readings have 

 it, the former district of Cotantin, now called the department of La 

 Manche. 



* According to D'Anville, Corseuil, two leagues frova Dinan, in the 

 department of the Cotes du Nord, denotes the site of their chief town. 

 Ilardouin takes Quimper to mark the locality. 



^ They are supposed by Ansart to have occupied that part of the 

 department of La Mayenne where we find the village of Jublains, two 

 leagues from the city of Mayenne. 



7 D'Anville assigns to them the greater part of the department of the 

 He et Vilaine, and is of opinion that the city of Rennes occupies the 

 site of Condate, their chief town. 



^ Tours, in the department of the Lidre et Loire, marks the site of 

 their cliief town. 



8 They are supposed to hare occupied a portion of the department of 

 the Loire. 



^^ They probably occupied a part of the department of the Loire, as 

 also of that of the Rhone. Their town. Forum Secusianorum, stood on 

 the site of the present Feurs, in the department of the Loire. 



^^ The city of Lyons occupies the site of ancient Lugdunum. It is 

 suggested by Hardouin, that the name Lugdunum is a corruption of 

 " Lucudunum," a compound of the Latin word luctis, " a grove," and 

 the Celtic dun, "a hill" or "mountain." 



^2 They are mentioned by Csesar (B. C. iii. 9), in conjunction veith the 

 Nannetes, Morini, and others, but nothing can be inferred as to the 

 precise position they occupied. 



^^ Their locaUty also is unknown, but it is supposed that they dwelt 

 in the yicinity of the department of La Vendee. •
