The nations between the Garonne and the Loire annexed to the Aquitani, are the Elui,¹ who commence at the Rhone. After these the Vellæi,² who were formerly comprehended amongst the Arverni,³ but now form a people to themselves. After these Arverni come the Lemovices,⁴ and Petrocorii,⁵ and after them the Nitiobriges,⁶ the Cadurci,⁷ and the Bituriges,⁸ surnamed Cubi. Along the ocean we meet with the Santoni, and Pictones,⁹ the former dwelling by the Garonne, as we have stated, and the latter by the Loire. The Ruteni and the Gabales¹⁰ are in the vicinity of the Narbonnaise. The Petrocorii and Bituriges-Cubi possess excellent ironworks, the Cadurci linen-factories, and the Ruteni silver- mines: the Gabales likewise possess silver-mines. On certain amongst the Aquitani the Romans have conferred the rights of Latin cities; such for instance as the Auscii, and the Convenæ.
