habitations. From hence therefore they cast about, and making westward,
first arrived in Affrica, and after keeping on their course, they passed
the straits of Gibralterra, and coasting alongst the shore on the right
hand, they found another companie that were likewise descended of the

putting _Mare Tyrrhenum_, for _Pyrenaeum_] Troian progenie, on
the coasts nere where the Pyrenine hils shoot downe to the sea, whereof

Mare Pyrenaeum, although hitherto by fault of writers & copiers of the
British historie receiued, in this place Mare Tyrrhenum, was slightlie
put downe in stead of Pyrenaeum.

The ofspring of those Troians, with whom Brute and his companie thus did
meet, were a remnant of them that came away with Antenor. Their capteine
hight Corineus, a man of great modestie and approoued wisedome, and
thereto of incomparable strength and boldnesse.

directed their course forward still, till they arriued within the mouth
of the riuer of Loire, which diuideth Aquitaine from Gall Celtike, where
