The Si∣cilians [unspec E] and Liburnians possessed most part of that tract, and principally the territories, Palmensis, Praetutianus, and Adrianus. Them the Vmbrians expelled: these againe Hetruria draue out: and lastly the Gaules disseised it. The people of Vmbria are supposed of all Italy to be of greatest antiquity, as whom men thinke to be of the Greeks named Ombri, for that in the generall deluge of the countrey by raine they only remained aliue. The Tuscanes are knowne to haue by war forced and woon 300 townes of theirs. At this day in the frontier of it there are the riuer Aesus, and Senogallia; the riuer Metaurus, and the colonie Fanum Fortunae. Pisaurum also with the riuer. In the parts within, Hispellum and Tuder. In the rest, the Amerines, Attidi∣ates, Asirinates, Arnates, and Aesinates, Camertes, Casventillanes, and Carsulanes, Dolates, sir∣named [unspec F] Salentines, Fulginates, Foro-flaminienses, Foro-Iulienses, named also Concubien∣ses, Foro-Bremitiani, Foro-Sempronienses, Iguini, Interamnates, syrnamed Nartes, Meua∣nates, Meuainienses, and Matilicates, Narnienses, whose towne before-time was called Ne∣quinum.
