§5.2.10τῇ δὲ Τυρρηνίᾳ παραβέβληται κατὰ τὸ πρὸς ἕω μέρος ἡ Ὀμβρική, τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπὸ τῶν Ἀπεννίνων λαβοῦσα, καὶ ἔτι περαιτέρω μέχρι τοῦ Ἀδρίου.
And along the eastern part of Tyrrhenia runs Umbria, which takes its beginning from the Apennines and extends even further to the Adriatic.
ἀπὸ γὰρ δὴ Ῥαουέννης ἀρξάμενοι κατέχουσιν οὗτοι τὰ πλησίον καὶ ἐφεξῆς Σάρσιναν Ἀρίμινον Σήναν καὶ Μάρινον.
For indeed, starting from Ravenna, these people occupy the neighboring territories and, in order, Sarsina, Ariminum, Sena, and Marinon.
αὐτοῦ δʼ ἐστὶ καὶ ὁ Αἶσις ποταμὸς καὶ τὸ Κίγγουλον ὄρος καὶ Σεντῖνον καὶ Μέταυρος ποταμὸς καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν τῆς Τύχης.
In that very place are also the river Aesis, Mount Cingulum, Sentinum, the river Metaurus, and the temple of Tyche.
περὶ γὰρ τούτους τοὺς τόπους ἐστὶ τὰ ὅρια τῆς Ἰταλίας τῆς πρότερον καὶ τῆς Κελτικῆς κατὰ τὸ πρὸς τῇ θαλάττῃ ταύτῃ μέρος, καίπερ μετατιθέντων πολλάκις τῶν ἡγεμόνων.
For around these places are the boundaries of former Italy and Celtic territory on the side near this sea, although the rulers often changed them.
πρότερον μέν γε τὸν Αἶσιν ἐποιοῦντο ὅριον, πάλιν δὲ τὸν Ῥουβίκωνα ποταμόν.
Formerly, at least, they made the Aesis the boundary, but later the Rubicon river.
ἔστι δʼ ὁ μὲν Αἶσις μεταξὺ Ἀγκῶνος καὶ Σήνας, ὁ δὲ Ῥουβίκων μεταξὺ Ἀριμίνου καὶ Ῥαουέννης, ἄμφω δʼ ἐκπίπτουσιν εἰς τὸν Ἀδρίαν.
The Aesis is between Ancon and Sena, and the Rubicon is between Ariminum and Ravenna, and both empty into the Adriatic.
νυνὶ δὲ συμπάσης τῆς μέχρι Ἄλπεων ἀποδειχθείσης Ἰταλίας, τούτους μὲν τοὺς ὅρους ἐᾶν δεῖ, τὴν δʼ Ὀμβρικὴν καθʼ ὴν οὐδὲν ἧττον μέχρι καὶ Ῥαουέννης ὁμολογοῦσιν ἅπαντες διατείνειν· οἰκεῖται γὰρ ὑπὸ τούτων.
But now that the whole territory as far as the Alps has been designated as Italy, one must let these boundaries be, but as for Umbria, one must describe it according to which everyone agrees it nevertheless extends as far as Ravenna; for it is inhabited by them.
εἰς μὲν δὴ Ἀρίμινον ἐνθένδε περὶ τριακοσίους φασίν, ἐκ δὲ Ἀριμίνου τὴν ἐπὶ Ῥώμης ἰόντι κατὰ τὴν Φλαμινίαν ὁδὸν διὰ τῆς Ὀμβρικῆς ἅπασα ἡ ὁδός ἐστι μέχρι Ὀκρίκλων καὶ τοῦ Τιβέρεως σταδίων πεντήκοντα καὶ τριακοσίων ἐπὶ τοῖς χιλίοις.
Now, they say it is about three hundred stadia from here to Ariminum, and for one going from Ariminum to Rome along the Flaminian Way through Umbria, the entire route as far as Ocricli and the Tiber is one thousand three hundred and fifty stadia.
τοῦτο μὲν δὴ μῆκος, τὸ δὲ πλάτος ἀνώμαλόν ἐστι.
This indeed is the length, but the width is unequal.
πόλεις δʼ εἰσὶν αἱ ἐντὸς τῶν Ἀπεννίνων ὀρῶν ἄξιαι λόγου κατʼ αὐτὴν μὲν τὴν Φλαμινίαν ὁδὸν οἵ τε Ὀκρίκλοι πρὸς τῷ Τιβέρει καὶ * λαρολονι καὶ Ναρνία, διʼ ἧς ῥεῖ ὁ Νὰρ ποταμός, συμβάλλων τῷ Τιβέρει μικρὸν ὑπὲρ Ὀκρίκλων, πλωτὸς οὐ μεγάλοις σκάφεσιν· εἶτα Κάρσουλοι καὶ Μηουανία, παρʼ ἣν ῥεῖ ὁ Τενέας, καὶ οὗτος ἐλάττοσι σκάφεσι κατάγων ἐπὶ τὸν Τίβεριν τὰ ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου.
Of the noteworthy cities inside the Apennine Mountains, along the Flaminian Way itself are Ocricli near the Tiber, and *Laroloni, and Narnia, through which flows the river Nar, which joins the Tiber slightly above Ocricli and is navigable for vessels of no great size; then Carsulae and Mevania, past which flows the Teneas, which also carries down the products of the plain to the Tiber in smaller boats.
καὶ ἄλλαι δʼ εἰσὶ κατοικίαι διὰ τὴν ὁδὸν πληθυνόμεναι μᾶλλον ἢ διὰ πολιτικὸν σύστημα, Φόρον Φλαμίνιον καὶ Νουκερία ἡ τὰ ξύλινα ἀγγεῖα ἐργαζομένη καὶ Φόρον Σεμπρώνιον.
There are also other settlements which are populous rather because of the highway than because of a political system, namely Forum Flaminium, Nuceria which manufactures wooden vessels, and Forum Sempronium.
ἐν δεξιᾷ δὲ τῆς ὁδοῦ βαδίζοντι ἐκ τῶν Ὀκρίκλων εἰς Ἀρίμινον Ἰντέραμνά ἐστι καὶ Σπολήτιον καὶ Αἴσιον καὶ Καμέρτης, ἐν αὐτοῖς τοῖς ὁρίζουσι τὴν Πικεντίνην ὄρεσι.
On the right of the road for one walking from Ocricli to Ariminum are Interamna, Spoletium, Aesium, and Camertes, in the very mountains which bound the Picentine territory.
κατὰ δὲ θάτερα μέρη Ἀμερία τε καὶ Τοῦδερ εὐερκὴς πόλις, καὶ Εἰσπέλλον καὶ Ἰγούιον, πλησίον τοῦτο ἤδη τῶν ὑπερβολῶν τοῦ ὄρους.
On the other side are Ameria and Tuder, a well-fortified city, and Hispellum and Iguvium, the latter being already near the passes of the mountain.
ἅπασα δʼ εὐδαίμων ἡ χώρα, μικρῷ δʼ ὀρειοτέρα, ζειᾷ μᾶλλον ἢ πυρῷ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τρέφουσα·
The whole country is prosperous, though a little mountainous, nourishing its people with spelt rather than wheat.
ὀρεινὴ δὲ καὶ ἡ Σαβίνη ἐφεξῆς οὖσα ταύτῃ, παραβεβλημένη τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον ὅνπερ αὕτη τῇ Τυρρηνικῇ· καὶ τῆς Λατίνης δὲ ὅσα πλησιάζει τούτοις τε καὶ τοῖς Ἀπεννίνοις ὄρεσι τραχύτερά ἐστιν.
Sabina, which is adjacent to this, is also mountainous, being stretched along in the same manner as this is along the Tyrrhenian coast; and those parts of Latium which lie near these and the Apennine Mountains are also more rugged.
ἄρχεται μὲν οὖν τὰ δύο ἔθνη ταῦτα ἀπὸ τοῦ Τιβέρεως καὶ τῆς Τυρρηνίας, ἐκτείνεται δὲ ἐπὶ τὰ Ἀπέννινα ὄρη πρὸς τῷ Ἀδρίᾳ λοξὰ παρεμβάλλοντα, ἡ δὲ Ὀμβρικὴ καὶ παραλλάττουσα, ὡς εἴρηται, μέχρι τῆς θαλάττης.
Now, these two nations begin from the Tiber and Tyrrhenia, and extend to the Apennine Mountains which lie obliquely towards the Adriatic, while Umbria also passes beyond them, as has been said, as far as the sea.
περὶ μὲν οὖν τῶν Ὀμβρικῶν ἱκανῶς εἴρηται.
Concerning the Umbrians, then, this is sufficient.
