rivers are the Tecum and the Vernodubrum^ The towns 
are Illiberis^, the scanty remains of what was formerly a great 
city, and Euscino^, a town with Latian rights. We then 
come to the river Atax"*, which flows from the Pyrenees, and 
passes through the E/ubrensian Lake^, the town of Narbo 
Martins, a colony of the tenth legion, twelve miles distant 
from the sea, and the rivers Arauris^ and Liria*^. The towns 
are otherwise but few in number, in consequence of the 
numerous lakes ^ which skirt the sea-shore. We have Aga- 
tha^, formerly belonging to the Massilians, and the district of 
the Yolcse Tectosages^^ ; and there is the spot where Ehoda^^, 
a Ehodian colony, formerly stood, from which the river takes 
its name of Ehodanus^^ ; a stream by far the most fertilizing 
of any in either of the Grallias. Descending from the Alps 
and rushing through lake Lemanus^^, it carries along with it 
the sluggish Arar^"^, as well as the torrents of the Isara and 
the Druentia^^, no less rapid than itself. Its two smaller 
mouths are called Libica^^, one being the Spanish, and the 
1 Probably the Tech, and the Yerdouble, which falls mto the Glj, 
2 Probably the present Elne, on the Tech. 
2 The present Castel Roussillon. ^ The Aude of the present day. 
* The bodies of water now called Etangs de Bages et de Sigean. 
^ Now the Heranlt. 
7 IS'ow called the Lez, near the city of MontpeUier. 
^ Now called Etangs de Leucate, de Sigean, de Gruissan, de Yendres, 
de Thau, de Maguelonne, de Perols, de Mauguio, du Repausset ; Marais 
d'Escamandre, de Lermitane et de la Souteyrane, and numerous others. 
y Now the town of Agde. Strabo also informs us that this place waa 
founded by the Massilians. 
10 This people seems to have inhabited the eastern parts of the depart- 
ments of r Arriege and the Haute Graronne, that of Aude, the south of 
tliat of Tarn, and of that of Herault, except the arrondissement of Mont- 
peUier. 
" Dalechamp takes this to be Eoz les Martigues ; but the locahty is 
doubtful. Most probably this is the same place that is mentioned by 
Strabo as E-hoe, in conjunction with the town of Agathe or Agde, and 
the Rodanusia of Stephen of Byzantium, who places it in the district of 
Massilia or Marseilles. 
^2 Now the Rhone. ^3 Now the Lake of Gleneva. 
1'* The modern Saone. Now the rivers Isere and Durance. 
1^ Most probably from Libici, a town in the south of Gaul, of which 
there are coins in existence, but nothing else seems to be known. At 
the present day there are four mouths of the Rhone, the most westerly 
of which is called the " Dead" Rhone ; the next the " Lesser" Rhone ; 
the tliird the " Old " Rhone ; and the fourth simply the Rhone. D'An-
