306 THE EASTERN ORIGIN OP THE CELTS. 



Gomare or Komorn and Sumerein retain the name of Zimran; Segeste 

 and Segedunum that of Ishod ; Agria or Abieta that of Ezer in its 

 two forms ; and ^mona and the Amanteni that of Heman. In 

 Noricum we discover Ambilici, AmbisontiJ, Cuculle and Trigisamum. 

 Yindelicia had an Ambre ; and Rhaetia. Isarus, Maletum and Oscela. 

 We have thus arrived at the borders of Italy. In Venetia and Istria 

 a few names appear, such as Atria, Motila, Malum, Aquilegia and 

 Tergeste. ^^** Gallia Cisalpina is naturally much more full. There 

 we meet with Umbranum, Sessites, Testona, Isarci, Acerrse, Edrum, 

 Emilia, Mediolanum of the Insubres, Mutilum, Cameliomagus, 

 Colicaria, Ocelum, Duria, Durise and Tarus. Tusculum is an indica- 

 tion that Eshcol's family was here represented; and Orobii reproduces 

 the Oropus that accompanied the line of Amphiaraus. Liguria fur- 

 nishes Asta, Cestise, Segeste, Ampelus and Monilia. Mr. Hyde 

 Clarke, to whose important work I have so frequently had occasion 

 to refer, unites the ancient Etrurians with the Sumerian stock. ^^'^ 

 Among their geographical names we find Umbro and Amerium, 

 Hasta and Pisatae, Auser, Pistoria and Magliana or Manliana. 

 Demaratus, the Lucumo, is Amphiaraus, the head of the Alcmaeonidse, 

 and Zimran, united with the house of Lechem. He was the father 

 of Tarchon, and the son of Etymon, who has already been before us 

 as Athamas, Admetus, Amphidamas, cfcc.^^" Umbria was pre- 

 eminently the land of the Cymri.^^' Besides its own name, those of 

 its cities Ameria, Camerte and Oamarinum attest this fact. The 

 ^ginetge sent colonies to Umbria, and there Myrmidones, or the 

 posterity of Mamre, were found. ^^^* Asitia or Assisium, probably 

 Suasa, Pisaurum, Matilica, Meuaniola, Gallicana and Clusiolum set 

 forth Ishod, Abiezer, Mahalah and Chalcol. Cumerium, Tria and 

 Tetricus of Picenum seem to indicate that Darda occupied the same 

 position in that state as Chalcol occupied in Umbria. 



Virgil brings his Latins from Africa."® Among them appear Semu- 

 rium and Simbruinse, Setia, Amyclse and Trerus. Thymber and Tmarus 

 are Rutulian names that Virgil did not create, but found doubtless

137 Pezrou, i. 19, quotes many authorities in support of the opinion that the Umbrians were 

 a Gallic people.
