[1973] Spalatro, the retreat of Diocletian, was in the vicinity of Salona. Its ancient name was Spolatum, and at the village of Dioclea near it, that emperor was born. On the ruins of the once important city of Salona, rose the modern Spalato or Spalatro.
[1974] Its site is unknown, though D’Anville thinks that it was probably that of the modern Tain.
[1975] Clissa is supposed to occupy its site. Tribulium is probably the modern Ugliane.
[1976] The people of the island of Issa, now Lissa, off the coast of Liburnia. It was originally peopled by a Parian or a Syracusan colony. It was famous for its wine, and the beaked ships “Lembi Issaici,” rendered the Romans good service in the war with Philip of Macedon.
[1977] The modern Almissa stands on its site; and on that of Rataneum, Mucarisca.
[1978] Now called Narenta; the river having the same name.
[1979] The localities of all these peoples are unknown.
[1980] Or Epidaurus. It is not noticed in history till the civil war between Pompey and Cæsar, when, having declared in favour of the latter, it was besieged by M. Octavius. The site of it is known as Ragusa Vecchia, or Old Ragusa, but in the Illyric language it is called Zaptal. Upon its destruction, its inhabitants moved to Rausium, the present Ragusa. There are no remains extant of the old town.
[1981] It still retains the name of Risine, upon the Golfo di Cattaro, the ancient Sinus Rhizonicus.
[1982] In the former editions called “Ascrivium.” The modern Cattaro is supposed to occupy its site. Butua is the modern Budua, and Olcinium, Dulcigno. It is probable that the derivation of the name of this last place, as suggested by Pliny, is only fanciful.
