CHAP. 31. (17.) — GALLIA BELGICA. 
The whole of Graul that is comprehended under the one 
general name of Comata^, is divided into three races of 
people, which are more especially kept distinct from each 
other by the following rivers. Trom the Scaldis to the Se- 
quana^ it is Belgic Graul ; from the Sequana to the Garumna^ 
it is Celtic Gaul or Lugdunensis^ ; and from the Garumna 
to the promontory of the Pyrensean range it is Aquitanian 
Gaul, formerly called Aremorica^. Agrippa makes the en- 
tire length of the coast of Gaul to be 1800 miles, mea- 
sured from the Ithine to the Pyrenees : and its length, 
from the ocean to the mountains of Gehenna and Jura, 
excluding therefrom Gallia Narbonensis, he computes at 
420 miles, the breadth being 318. 
Beginning at the Scaldis, the parts beyond^ are inhabited 
by the Toxandri, who are divided into various peoples with 
many names ; after whom come the Menapii', the Morini^, 
the Oromarsaci^, who are adjacent to the burgh which is 
known as Gesoriacum^^, theBritanni^\ the Ambiani^^, theBel- 
gos, the island of Lewis, tlie northern promontory of which is in the old 
maps designated by the name of Nary or Nery. Ptolemy makes men- 
tion of an island called Doumna in the vicinity of the Or cades. 
^ Transalpine Graul, with the exception of that part of it called I^^ar- 
bonensis, was called GraUia Comata, from the custom of the people 
allowing their hair to grow to a great length. 
2 From the Scheldt to the Seine. ^ From the Seine to the Garonne. 
Lyonese Graul, fromLugdunum, the ancient name of the city of Lyons. 
^ Said by Camden to be derived from the Celtic words Ar - mor, " by 
the Sea." ^ The provinces of Antwerp and North Brabant. 
7 Inhabiting Western Flanders. 
^ So called, it is supposed, from the Celtic word Mor, which means 
"the sea." Terouane and Boulogne are supposed to occupy the site of 
their towns, situate in the modern Pas de Calais. 
^ D' Anville places them between Calais and Grravellines, in the Pas de 
Calais, and on the spot now known as the Terre de Marck or Merk. 
Boulogne, previously mentioned. 
Cluver thinks that "Brianni" would be the correct reading here ; hui 
D' Anville places the Britanni on the southern bank of the stream called 
La Canche in the Pas de Calais. 
^2 According to Parisot and Ansart they occupied the department of
