[*] 125.8. natos in insula: they were not, however, indigenous, but a Celtic population following an earlier Iberian race. [*] 125.9. proditum [esse]: the subj. is quos natos [esse] in insula.—pars: sc. incolitur. [*] 125.11. eis nominibus: for example, Atrebates and Belgae. [*] 126.3. Gallicis: brief references to the Gallic customs of building are made in Bk. v. ch. 43, and Bk. vi. ch.30; see also introductory chapter on Gaul and the Gauls. [*] 126.4. [aut nummo aereo]: omit in translation. [*] 126.6. plumbum album: Caesar is mistaken in placing tin mines inland and iron on the coast; it was just the other way. The tin mines of Cornwall were known to the Phcenicians from the earliest times. He does not say whether iron was used in the arts, which, if true, would imply a pretty advanced civilization. [*] 126.7. exigua: the great mineral wealth of England was then unknown. [*] 126.9. fagum atque abietem: another error; the beech and fir are both native to Britain. [*] 126.10. gallinam, etc.: it is of interest to note that these domestic fowls were known to the savage Britains; see Fig. 113. [*] 126.12. frigoribus, seasons of cold.
