AUSOBA
AUSOBA in Ireland, placed by Ptolemy (
2.2.4) as the third river from the Boreum promontorium
[p. 1.345][
BOREUM], and as due north of the Sena.
As it is more certain that the Sena is the
Shannon than that the northern promontory is
Malin Head, the outlet of
Loch Corrib in
Galway Bay best suits the somewhat equivocal condition of the river Ausoba.
