[1035] The people of the present Alava on the Ebro.—A small town there still bears the name of Alvana.
[1036] This nation is not mentioned elsewhere. Possibly they are the Murbogi, mentioned by Ptolemy.
[1037] Their town Segisamon was either the present Veyzama in Guipuzcoa, or, more probably, Sasamon, eight leagues north-west of Burgos.
[1038] The people of Carissa, on the site of the present Carixa near Seville.
[1039] Strabo assigns the Numantini to the Arevacæ, and not the Pelendones. The ruins of the city of Numantia were still to be seen at Puente Garray near the city of Soria, in Hardouin’s time, the 17th century.
[1040] D’Anville places their city, Intercatia, at the place called Villa nueva de Azuague, forty miles from the present Astorga; others again make it to have been sixty miles from that place.
[1041] Their town was on the site of the modern city of Palencia, on the river Carion.
[1042] The people of Cauca, the present Coca, situate between Segovia and Valladolid, on the river Eresma.
[1043] This was the chief city of the Cantabri. It has been already mentioned, but we may add that it stood near the sources of the Ebro, on the eminence of Retortillo, south of Reynosa. Five stones still mark the boundaries which divided the territory from that of the Fourth Legio.
[1044] Supposed to be the present Briviesca; the site of Tritium does not appear to be known, but it has been suggested that it was near Najara, in the vicinity of Logrono.
