tures^ tlie town of JSToega^, and on a peninsula^, the Psesici. 
Next to tliese we have, belonging to the jurisdiction of 
Lucus"^, after passing the river Siavilubio^, the Cibarci^, the 
Egovarri, surnamed JSTamarini, the ladoni, the Arrotrebse'', 
the Celtic Promontory, the rivers Plorius^ and Nelo, the

dedicated^^ to Augustus ; the Capori^^, the town of Noela^*, 
the Celtici surnamed Prsesamarci, and the Cileni^^ : of the 
islands, those worthy of mention are Corticata^'^ and Aunios. 
After passing the Cileni, belonging to the jurisdiction of the 
Bracari^'', we have theHeleni^^, the Gravii^^ and the fortress 
of Tyde, all of them deriving their origin from the Grreeks. 
^ They are supposed to have occupied the greater part of the princi- 
pahty of the Asturias and the province of Leon. 
2 Hardouin and Mannert consider tliis to be identical with Navia or 
!N'ava, six miles to the east of Oviedo, an obscure place in the interior. 
Ansart however would identify it with Yillaviciosa. 
3 JSTo doubt the headland now known as the Cabo de Penas. 
^ Now Lugo in G-aUicia. 
^ Supposed by Ansart to be the Kio Caneiro, into which the Rio 
Labio discharges itself. 
^ Supposed by Ansart to have dwelt in the vicinity of the Celtic pro- 
montory, now Cabo de Finisterra or Cape Finisterre. Of the Egovarri 
and ladoni nothing whatever is known. 
7 Their towns are mentioned by Ptolemy as being situate on a bay 
near Nerium or the promontory of Cape Finisterre.

rins seems not to have been identified.

DweUing on the banks of the river which from them takes its

Mannert and Ansart are of opinion that this peninsula was probably 
the modern Cabo Taurinan or Cabo Yillano, most probably the latter.

13 Their towns, Iria Flavia and Lacus Augusti, lay in the interior, on 
the sites of the present Santiago de ComposteUa and Lugo. 
Probably the modern Noya. 
They are supposed to have occupied the district in which the warm 
springs are found, which are known as Caldas de Contis andCaldas deRey. 
1^ It is suggested by Ansart that the islands here meant are those called 
Carreira, at the mouth of the river Ulla, and the Islas de 0ns, at the 
mouth of the Tenario. ^7 gee B. iii. c. 4.
