and Abbeville for their chief towns. 
1 They dwelt in the modern department of the Oise, with Beauvais 
(which still retains their name) for their chief town. 
2 D'Anville is of opinion that the place called Haiz or Hez in the 
diocese of Beauvais, received its name from this people, of whom nothing 
else is known. The name is omitted in several of the editions. 
3 DAnville is of opinion that their chief town was situate at the 
modern Chaours, at the passage of the river Serre, not far from Yervins 
in the department of the Aisne. 
^ According to Ptolemy their chief town would be on the site of the 
modern Orchies in the department du Nord, but Caesar makes it to be 
Nemetacum, the modern Arras, the capital of the department of the 
Pas de Calais. 
^ According to Ansart their chief town was Bavai, in the department 
du Nord. They are called " Liberi," or free, because they were left at 
liberty to enjoy their own laws and institutions. 
^ Their capital was Augusta Yeromanduorum, and it has been sug- 
gested that the place called Yermand, in the department de T Aisne, de- 
notes its site ; but according to Bellay and DAnville the city of St. 
Quentin, which was formerly called Aouste, marks the spot. 
' Nothing whatever is known of them, and it is suggested by the com- 
mentators that this is a corrupted form of the name of the Suessiones, 
which follows. 
^ They gave name to Soissons in the southern part of the department 
de r Aisne. 
^ It has been suggested that these are the same as the Silvanectes, 
the inhabitants of SenHs in the department de I'Oise. 
'^^ The people of Tongres, in the provinces of Namur, Liege, and 
Limbourg. 
They are supposed to have dwelt in the eastern part of the province 
of Limbourg. 
12 They probably dwelt between the Sunuci and the Betasi. 
13 They are supposed to have dwelt in the western part of the province 
of Limbourg, on the confines of that province and South Brabant, in tlie 
vicinity probably of the place which still bears the name of Beetz, upon 
the river Gette, between Leau and Haclen, seven miles to the east of 
Louvain. 
According to Ptolemy the Leuci dwelt on the sites of Toul in the 
department of the Meurthe, and of Nais or Nays in that of the Meuse. 
From them Treves or Trier, in the Q-rand Duchy of the Lower 
Bhine, takes its name.
