UXANTIS INSULA
UXANTIS INSULA for so the name should be read in the Maritime Itin., is Pliny's Axantos (4.30), an island off the Atlantic coast of Gallia. Uxantis is
Ouessant, or
Ushant, as the English often write it, a small island belonging to the department of
Finistère, and nearly in the latitude of
Brest. [
