CHAPTER III.
3.1
NE3T in order after Aquitaine and the Narbonnaise, is that portion [of Gaul] extending as far as the Rhine from the river Loire, and the Rhone, where it passes by Lugdunum:Lyons. in its descent from its source. The upper regions of this district from the sources of the Rhine and Rhone, nearly to the middle of the plains, pertain to Lugdunum; the remainder, with the regions next the ocean, is comprised in another division which belongs to the Belgae. We will describe the two together.
3.2
Lugdunum itself, situated onMSS. read ὑπὸ, under, we have not hesitated to translate it ἐπὶ, like the Italian, French, and German versions; although Kramer remarks paulo audacius, of Coray’s reading ἐπὶ in the Greek. a hill, at the confluence of the Saone̓́αοͅαοͅ. and the Rhone, belongs to the Romans. It is the most populous city after Narbonne. It carries on a great commerce, and the Roman prefects here coin both gold and silver money. Before this city, at the confluence of the rivers, is situated the temple dedicated by all the Galatae in common to Caesar Augustus. The altar is splendid, and has inscribed on it the names of sixty people, and images of them, one for each, and also another great altar.Kramer says that ἄλλος is manifestly corrupt.—I have ventured to translate it another altar.
