So when Vopiscus, in Aureliano, mentions a portico of Sallust’s gardens, which he calls porticus milliariensis, it must be understood of a thousand feet. So also Horace—

90 Lib. ix. cap. 10. His expression is ἀνθρωπος, not πολιτης; inhabitant, not citizen.

91 Such were Alexandria, Antioch, Carthage, Ephesus, Lyons, etc., in the Roman Empire. Such are even Bordeaux, Toulouse, Dijon, Rennes, Rouen, Aix, etc., in France; Dublin, Edinburgh, York, in the British dominions.
