155. Without recurring to the more ancient writers, I shall
quote three respectable testimonies which belong to the
fourth and seventh centuries: the Expositio totius Mundi (p.
16, in the third volume of Hudson's Minor Geographers),
Ausonius (de Claris Urbibus, p. 242, edit. Toll.), and
Isidore of Seville (Praefat. ad Chron. ap Grotium Hist.
Goth. p. 707). Many particulars relative to the fertility
and trade of Spain may be found in Nonnius, Hispania,
Illustrata; and in Huet, Hist. du Commerce des Anciens, c.
40, p. 228-234.
