TJria, tlie river Cerbalus\ forming tlie boundary of the Daimii, 
the port of Agasus^, and the Promontory of Mount Gar- 
ganus^, distant from the Promontory of Salentinum or lapygia 
234 miles. Making the circuit of Grarganus, we come to the 
port of Grarna^, the Lake Pantanus^, the river Prento, the 
mouth of which forms a harbour, Teanum of the Apuli^, and 
Larinum, Cliternia^, and the river Tifernus, at which the 
district of the Prentani^ begins. Thus there were three 
different nations of the Apulians, [the Daunii,] the Teani, so 
called from their leader ^ and who sprang from the Greeks, and 
^ the Lucani, who were sub dued by Calchas ^, and whose country 
is now possessed by the Atinates. Besides those already men- 
tioned, there are, of the Daunii, the colonies of Luceria^^ and 
Venusia", the towns of Canusium^^ and Arpi, formerly called 
Argos Hippium^^ and founded by Diomedes, afterwards called 
Argyrippa. Here too Diomedes destroyed the nations of the 
Monadi and the Dardi, and the two cities of Apina and 
posed to have occupied the site of Manfredonia, and the village of Santa 
Maria di Siponto stands where Siponti stood. 
^ Probably the Cervaro. Hardouin says the Candelaro. 
2 The present Porto Grreco occupies its site. 
2 Still known as Grargano. 
4 Probably the present Varano. 
5 Now Lago di Lesina. The Frento is now called the Fortore. 
6 To distinguish it from Teanum of the Sidicini, previously mentioned. 
7 Between the Tifernus and the Frento. Its remains are said to be 
stiU visible at Licchiano, five miles from San Martino. The Tifernus is 
now called the Biferno. 
^ A people of Central Italy, occupying the tract on the east coast of 
the peninsula, from the Apennines to the Adriatic, and from the fron- 
tiers of Apuha to those of the Marrucini. 
^ Strabo (B. vi.) refers to this tradition, where he mentions the oracle 
of Calchas, the soothsayer, in Daunia in Southern Italy. Here answers 
were given in dreams, for those who consulted the oracle had to sacrifice 
a black ram, and slept a night in the temple, lying on the skin of the 
victim. 
10 The modern Lucera in the Capitanata. 
11 The birth-place of Horace ; now Yenosa in the BasiHcata. 
12 TJie modern Canosa stands on the site of the citadel of ancient Ca- 
nusium, an Apuhan city of great importance. • The remains of the ancient 
city are very considerable. 
13 So called, it was said, in remembrance of Argos, the native city of 
Diomedes. It was an Apuhan city of considerable importance. Some 
slight traces of it are still to be seen at a spot which retains the name of 
Arpa, five miles from the city of Foggia.
