Chap. 4.] ACCOUNT OF COr^TRIES, ETC. 169 iiicenses and the Osicerdenses; of federate states, there are the Tarragenses"; and of tributaries, the Arcobri- genses^, the Andologenses^, the Araeelitani^, the Bursao- nenses^, the Calagiirritani^, who are also surnamed the Fibularenses, the Complutenses^, the Carenses^, the Cin- censes^", the Cortonenses, the Damamtani' the Lar- nenses^^, the Lursenses^^, the Lumberitani^^, the Lacetani, the Lubienses, the Pompelonenses^^, and the Segienses. 1 The people of Leonica, probably the modem Alcaniz, on the river Guadalope, in Arragon. - The people of Tarraga, the present Tarrega, nine leagues east of Lerida, in Catalonia. 3 The people of Arcobriga, now Los Ai'cos, in Navarre, five leagues south of EsteUa. ■* Perhaps the same as the Andosini, a people mentioned by Polybius, B. iii. e. 35, as situate between the Iberus and the Pyrenees. There is a small town of Navarre called AndroiUa. 5 The people probably of the site now occupied by Huarte Araquil, six leagues to the west of Pampeluna.

  • Probably the same as the Bursaones of Livy, the Bursavolenses of

Hirtius, and the Bursadenses of Ptolemy. Their exact locahty is unknown. 7 Mention has been made of Calagun'is Fibularensis or Fibuhcensis under Calagiirris Nassica : see p. 168. ^ The people of Complutum, the modem Alcala de Hen ares, on the river Henares, six leagues to the east of Madiid. It is not quite certain whether it stood on the exact site of Alcala, or on the liill of Zulema, on the other side of the Henares. ^•The towm of Cares, adjoining the more modem one of Puente la Beyna, probably marks their site. '" Probably so called from the river Cinga^ the modem Cinca : or they may have given their name thereto. ^^ The people probably of the present Mediana on the Ebro, six leagues below Zaragoza. ^ Their town was Larnum, situate on a river of the same name. It was probably the present Torderas, situate on the river of that name. ^3 Of tliis people nothing appears to be known. In the old editions the next people mentioned are the " Ispalenses," but since the time of Har- douin, they have been generally omitted, as wrongly introduced, and as ut- terly unknown. Spanish coins have however been more recently discovered with the name 'Sblaie' or 'Splaie,' inscribed in Celt-iberian characters, and immismatists are of opinion that they indicate the name of the town of this pcojile, which in Latin would be Ispala. This at all events is the opinion of M. de Saiilcy. '"* The people of the present town of Lumbier in Navarre, called by its inhabitants Irumberri. '^ The people of the present city of Pampelima.
