Of this the portion S. of that river was diHtin- fHIiiafaed, in hiter times at least, by the name of the Aqeb CAHT-AHUa, as the proper tTritory of the city, while that on the N. ^de uf the Valtnnns wu known OS the Falkrhub Agek, a name sometimca applied to the whole of the fertile tracts between tbe VnUumos and the mountain langee that bonnd the plain on the N.; somelimes restricttd t.> the val«m portion oS this tract, at the li»t of the Mas- lican Hill); while the eut«m half of the plain, M the foot of Mods CbIKcoIo, extending from Cnlea to Casilinnm, was distlnsulsked as the CAUrtis STKtr utTia.(Liv:iiiL 13; Cic A Ltg.

The " Tribod, VMEiona, et Cura-ates," are mentioned by Tacitus {^Hitl. iv. 70) in his history of the war of Civilis. Some of the commentators on Taiitiu wonld alter the name, but it ocean nowhere ebe. D'Anville, finding no phice for these people among the Triboei, Nemetea. and Vangionet, lupposn that they may have occnped the tnu^ between the Kara {_Naht) and the Rhint, and that Moguntlacum (Maim) may have been their chief town; lac it happens that we never find Ihe name of the people mentioned who had Maint. It may then have belonged to the Caracates. WalckenaerobservM(Ceoj.Tol.ii.p,378) that in the environs of ifoine there occur the names Kar- bach, Karlkk, KaneeOer, KardHaaer. which may ba taken to be srane confirmation of D'Anville's con- jotture. [G. L.] CARACE'NI(Kapiiini'ol).a tribe of the Samnitea, which according to Ptolemy inhabited the mut northern ^rt of SamDium, bordering on the Peligni and the Freutani ; bat more eepecially the upper valley of the Sagnu (Simffro). The onlj' city that ha osalgni to them ii ADFiDEirA, and their name is not mentioned by any other geographer. But it is generally snppoeed that the Caeucini (Kiylwrai) of Zonaraa, whom be speaks of aa a Saninite pcoiile (viii.7). are the same with the Corocmi of Ptolemy. He doscribea them as pooseasing a town or etrong- bdld, which was not token by tile Roman consuls Q. Gollns and C. Fabius without difflculiy. This town haa Iwen supposed by local topographera to be the same with the modem CoMld di Sangro, which seems, hum the inscriptions and other re- nuuni discoiered then, to have been an ancient town,butthere ie noaothority fcr this. Nor is there any greond for identifying the Corentini of Pliny .i7),w; author among the Frenlani. with the Camcem, (Bomanelii, vol. ii. pp. 483, 490.) [E. H. fl.] CABAE (KdfKU >c^*iai, Diod. ivii. 37), ■ small place menlionod by Kodorus, and probably in Sitta- cene, one of the SE. districts of Assyria. It has been conjectured by Uonnert (v. 3, p. 342) that it was situated in the Drighbourbood of A^urvSAirn. on the river Holwan. [V.] CA'KALIS, or CATtALES (the plnral ftim. is used by the best Latin writers: KnpaAii: Eth. Co- ralituins : Cogliari), a nty of Sardinia, the meet con- siderable in the whole island, ntuated on the S. coast, on the extensive gulf which derived from it the name of ^us Caialitanus {KapvXtrafhi kAK- wDi, Plol. iii. 3. § 4). Its fuundstion is exprvesly assigned to the Carthaginians (Paui. i. 17. % 9; Clandian, B. Gild. 520) ; and from ita opportune si- tnntion for commnnicaiion with Africa *e well as its excellent port, it donbtleas assumed under their go- lemment the same important position which «■» find it occupying under the B«nans. Ko mention of it is found on the ocmsion of the Roman cnnquest of tbe islsnd; but during the Second Punic War, It was the hcad^quarters of the praetor, T.
