Of thefe there are four in the original; the firil: being intitled A Nomenclature, ferving as a Supplement to what is inferted in the body of the work, and containing the names of thore places which are found in the folio maps exclufive l with their modern names; and references to' the chapter of the work that treats of the country compriling them. The fecond is intitled A Table compofed of the Names of Countries. The third is of Chief Seas and the fourth, called Table da Local a detail, comprifes the names contained as well in the Nomen clature, and diftinguilhed by the letter N, as thofe contained in the text, and which refer to the volume and page; but without the modern names. Thefe mafl'es I have endeavoured to render lefe complicated by digeiting them into three. The firit table will be found to contain the names of countries, the fe cond thofe of the chief feas, and the third the names in the folio maps diilinguiihed by an Italic character, with the fame refer ences as the original; together with the names contained in the body of the work And to render this index a complete dictionary of ancient geography, I have inferted the modern names of this clafs alfo.
