To begin then with the river Varus; we have the town of Nicæa [Note], founded by the Massilians, the river Paulo [Note], the Alps
and the Alpine tribes, distinguished by various names [Note], but more especially the Capillati [Note] , Cemenelio [Note], a town of the state of the Vediantii, the port of Hercules Monæcus [Note], and the Ligurian coast. The more celebrated of the Ligurian tribes beyond the Alps are the Salluvii, the Deciates, and the Oxubii [Note]; on this side of the Alps, the Veneni [Note], and the Vagienni, who are derived from the Caturiges [Note], the Statielli [Note], the Bimbelli [Note], the Magelli, the Euburiates, the Casmonates [Note], the Veleiates [Note], and the peoples whose towns we shall describe as lying near the adjoining coast. The river Rutuba [Note], the town of Albium Intemelium [Note], the river Merula [Note], the town of Albium Ingaunum [Note], the port of Vadum Sabatiorum [Note], the river Porcifera [Note], the town of Genua, the river Feritor [Note], the Portus Delphini [Note], Tigullia [Note], Tegesta [Note] of the Tigullii, and the river Macra [Note], which is the boundary of Liguria.
Extending behind all the before-mentioned places are the Apennines, the most considerable of all the mountains of Italy, the chain of which extends unbroken from the Alps [Note] to the Sicilian sea. On the other side of the Apennines, towards the Padus [Note], the richest river of Italy, the whole country is adorned with noble towns; Libarna [Note], the colony of Dertona [Note], Iria [Note], Barderate [Note], Industria [Note], Pollentia [Note], Carrea surnamed Potentia [Note], Foro Fulvî or Valentinum [Note], Augusta [Note] of the Vagienni, Alba Pompeia [Note], Asta [Note], and Aquæ Statiellorum [Note]. This is the ninth region, according to the arrangement of Augustus. The coast of Liguria extends 211 miles [Note], between the rivers Varus and Macra.
