[885] The sites of this place and the next are unknown.
[886] Most probably the present town of Porcuna. Ubeda or Ubedos has also been suggested.
[887] The present town of Montoro.
[888] Now Alcoorrucen, near Perabad.
[889] Ansart suggests that the reading is not Sacili of the Martiales, but Onoba of the Martiales, to distinguish it from Onoba Æstuaria, previously mentioned. It is not improbable that the place was so called from the Martian or Martial legion having originally colonized it. The site of Onoba is unknown.
[890] Cordova was so called from the great number of patricians, who were among the original colonists, when it was founded by Marcellus. To the present day it is noted for the pride of its nobles. The Great Captain Gonzalo de Cordova used to say, that “other towns might be better to live in, but there was none better to be born in.” It was the birth-place of Lucan and the two Senecas.
[891] The site of these two places is unknown at the present day.
[892] Now called by the similar name of Genil or Xenil.
[893] Perhaps the present Alcolea.
[894] Perhaps the Cantillana of the present day: there is, however, the greatest uncertainty as to the sites of these places.
