battles of Hercules ; the district of the Anatilii\ and more 
inland, that of the Desuviates^ and the Cavari. Again, close 
upon the sea, there is that of the Tricorii^, and inland, there 
are the Tricolli'*, the Yocontii% and the Segovellauni, and, 
after them, the Allobroges^. 
On the coast is Massilia, a colony of Phocsean'' Grreeks, 
and a federate^ city ; we then have the Promontory of Zao^, 
the port of Citharista^^, and the district of the CamatuUici" ; 
then the Suelteri^^, and above them the Verrucini^^, Again, 
bat of Hercules, and Mela relates that being engaged in a mortal struggle 
with Albion and Geryon, the sons of Neptune, he invoked the aid of 
Jupiter, on which a shower of stones fell from the heavens and destroyed 
his antagonists. Those on this plain are said to be the remains of the 
stony shower. It is supposed by the scientific that many of these stones 
are aerohtes, and that tradition has ingeniously adapted this story to 
their real origin. The vicinity of Tunbridge Wells presents a somewhat 
similar appearance. 
1 The people probably of the site of the present isle of Camargue. 
2 They probably inhabited the district south of the Durance, between 
it and the Rhone. 
3 They inhabited the country in which the present Avignon, Orange, 
Cavaillon, and perhaps Carpentras are situate. 
. They are thought by Hardouin to have dwelt in the vicinity of the 
present town of Talard in the department of the Hautes Alpes. 
^ They inhabited the eastern part of the departments of the Drome and 
the Yaucluse. 
® Their territory comprehended the southern part of the department 
of the A in, the department of the Isere, the canton of G-eneva, and part 
• of Savoy. 
, 7 It was said to have been colonized from Phocsea, a town of Ionia in 
'Asia Minor. Lucan in his Thfrd Book more than once falls into the 
.^rror of supposing that it was colonized from Phocis in Grreece. 
^ We learn from Justin, B. xliii., that this privilege, as well as others, 
and a seat at the pubhc shows, were granted to the Massihans hj the 
Roman Ser ate, in return for their sympathy and assistance after the city 
had been tfiken and plundered by the Grauls. 
3 According to D' Anville the present Cap de I'Aigre, though Mannert 
takes it to be the Cap de la Croisette. 
^0 D Anville takes this to be the same as the present Port de la Ciotat. 
Probably occupying the south-east of the department of the Yar. 
It is supposed by Hardouin that the village of Eamatuelle, near the coast, 
Gouth of the Grulf of Grrimaud, represents the ancient name ; and D An- 
viUe and other writers are of the same opinion. 
^2 Probably the country around the modern Brignole and Draguignan 
was inhabited by them. 
13 They inhabited Yerignon and Barjols in the southern part of the 
department of the Yar.
