About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1826. Excerpt: ... SECTION XI. SAMNIUM.

We are not informed whence they subsequently derived the appellation of Samnites, or Savvrra, as the Greeks wrote the word. (Strab. V. 250. Sisenn. Hist. IV. ap Non. de doct. ind. v. Ver. Sacrum. Varr. de Ling. Lat. VI. Fest. v. Samnites.) It is certain, however, that a portion of this people always retained the name of Sabelli. (Liv. VIII. 1. and X. 19. Varr. ap. Philarg. Georg. II. 167.) Hasc genus acre virum Marsos, pubemque Sabellam, Assuetumque malo Ligurem, Volscosque verutos Extulit. There were other traditions, which stated that the Samnites, as well as their ancest...
