[945] This was the most remote place of any consideration in Celtiberia, on the west. Its ruins are still to be seen on the summit of a hill surrounded with rocks, forming a natural wall between Corunna del Conde and Pennalda de Castro.
[946] This was Asturica Augusta, the chief city of the nation of the Astures, and situate on one of the tributaries of the Astura, now Esta. On its site is situate the present Astorga: its ruins are very extensive.

[949] Probably the present town of Vera near Muxacra.
[950] The “Promontory of Saturn,” now Cabo de Palos.

[953] The modern town of Elche was probably built from the ruins of this place.
[954] Now called the Gulf of Alicant.
