the Medulli, the Uceni[1], the Caturiges, the Brigiani, the Sogiontii, the Brodiontii, the Nemaloni, the Edenates[2], the Esubiani, the Veamini, the Gallitæ, the Triulatti, the Ecdini,the Vergunni, the Eguituri[3], the Nementuri, the Oratelli, the Nerusi, the Velauni, and the Suetri."
The twelve states of the Cottiani[4] were not included in the list, as they had shown no hostility, nor yet those which had been placed by the Pompeian law under the jurisdiction of the municipal towns.
Such then is Italy, sacred to the gods, such are the nations, such the cities of her peoples; to which we may add, that this is that same Italy, which, when L. Æmilius Paulus[5] and C. Attilius Hegulus were Consuls, on hearing of the rising in Gaul, unaided, and without any foreign assistance whatever, without the help even of that portion which lies beyond the Padus, armed 80,000 horse and 700,000 foot. In abundance of metals of every kind, Italy yields to no land whatever; but all search for them has been prohibited by an ancient decree of the Senate, who gave orders thereby that Italy shall be exempted[6] from such treatment.

The nation of the Liburni adjoins the river Arsia[7] , and
- ↑ The Uceni, according to Hardoiiin, occupied Le Bourg d'Oysans in the modern Graisivaudan; the Caturiges, the modem Chorges according to Ansart; the Brigiani, probably Briançon, and the Kemaloni, as Har- douin thinks, the place called Miolans.
- ↑ They probably dwelt in the Ville de Seyne, in Embrun; the Esubiimi near the river Hubaye, inthe Yallee de Barcelone in Savoy; the Veamini in Senez, the Triulatti at the village of Alloz, the Ecchni near the river Tinea, and the Vcrgunni in the vicinity of the district of Yergons.
- ↑ The Eguituri probably dwelt near the modera town of Guillaumes, the Oratelli at the place now called Le Puget de Theniers, and the Yelauni near the modem Bueil.
- ↑ Or subjects of Cottius, previously mentioned.
- ↑ A mistake for L.Æmilius Papus. He and C. Regulus were Consuls in B.C. 225. They successfully opposed the Cisalpine Grauls, who invaded Italy; but Regulus was slain in the engagement.
- ↑ It is difficult to say what is the exact force of "parci" here; whether in fact it means that Italy shall be wholly exempted from such treatment, as an indignity offered to her sod, or whether her minerals were to be strictly kept in reserve as a last resource. Ajabson, in his Translation, seems to take the former view, Littr{{subst:e'}} the latter.
- ↑ From the river now called the Arsa to that called the Kerka.
