[1165] Issa, now Lissa, is an island of the Adriatic, off the coast of Liburnia; it is not less than eighty miles distant from the nearest part of the coast of Italy.
[1166] That is to say, the south, which was so called by the Romans: the meaning being that Italy extends in a south-easterly direction.
[1167] Italy was divided by Augustus into eleven districts; the ninth of which nearly corresponded to the former republic of Genoa.
[1168] The modern Nizza of the Italians, or Nice of the French.
[1169] Now the Paglione.
[1170] Livy mentions four of these tribes, the Celelates, the Cerdiciates, the Apuani, and the Friniates.
[1171] Or “Long-haired.” Lucan, B. i. l. 442, 3, refers to this characteristic of the Alpine Ligurians:

Crinibus effusis toti prælate Comatæ.
[1172] It is probably the ruins of this place that are to be seen at the present day at Cimiez in the vicinity of Nice.
