and Corchiano, where there are considerable remains of an Etruscan city. 
The spot is named San Silvestro, from a ruined church there. 
1 Or Horta ; the spot now called Orte, where numerous Etruscan re- 
mains are found ; it probably derived its name from the Etruscan god- 
dess Horta. Hortanum, the name given to it by Pliny, is perhaps an 
adjective form of the name, "oppidum" being understood. 
2 Possibly the same as ' Urbs Yetus,' on the side of which the present 
Orvieto stands. ^ Now Nepi, near the river Pozzolo. 
* According to Hardoum the site of the Novem Pagi, or nine Boroughs, 
is occupied by the modern II Mignone, near Civita Yecchia. 
^ Its site is generally supposed to have been at Oriuolo, about five miles 
north of Bracciano ; but Dennis informs us that there are no ancient 
remains at that place. Being a prsefecture it may have consisted of only 
a number of little villages, united in one jurisdiction.

14 Their town stood on the site of the present Bisontia. 
1^ The people of Yolaterrse, the present Yolterra, one of the twelve cities 
of the Etruscan Confederation. It was for a time the residence of the 
kings of Lombardy. The modern town covers only a small portion of 
the ai'ea of the ancient city, of which there are some interesting remains. 
1^ The people of Yolci or Yulci, of which the ruins bear the same name. 
Its sepulchres have produced vast treasxu'es of ancient art. 
The people of Yolsinii or Yulsinii, now called Bolsena. This was 
one of the most ancient and powerful of the twelve cities of the Etruscan
