To the south of Narbonense is the Mediterranean, where the Rhone empties itself into that sea, to the north of the Profent sea. Opposite to the wastes is the nearer part of Spain, to the northwest Aquitania, and the Wascan to the north. The Profent sea hath to the north the Alps, to the south the Mediterranean, to the north-east the Burgundians, and to the West the Wascans or Gascons.
Profent and Profent sea, from the Provincia Gallica, now Provence. Forst. Probably in relation to Rome, the residence of Orosius.

Forst. Scotland is here assuredly used to denote Ireland.
