is the mouth of the Aelfe or Elbe, as also Frysan or Friesland.  Prom hence to the north-west is that land which is called Angle, with Sellinde, and some other parts of Dene[31].  To the north is Apdrede[32], and to the north-east the Wolds[33], which are called AEfeldan[34].  From hence eastwards is Wineda-land[35], otherwise called Sysyle[36].  To the south-west, at some distance, is the Macroaro[37], and these have to the west the Thyringas and Behemas, as also part of the Baegthware, all of whom have been already mentioned.  And to the south, on the other side of the Donua or Danube, is the country called Carendrae[38].

Sec. 8.  Southwards, towards and along the mountains which are called the Alps, are the boundaries of the Baegthware and of the Swaefas already mentioned; and then to the eastwards of the Carendrae country, and beyond the Waste[39], is Pulgara-land or Bulgaria[40].  To the east is Greca-land[41] or Greece; and to the east of the Moroaro or Moravians, is Wisle-land[42]; and to the east of that is Datia, though it formerly belonged to the Gottan[43] or Goths.  To the north-east of the Moroara or Moravians, are the Delamensen[44].  East of the Delamensen are the Horithi[45]; and north of the Delamensen are the Surpe[46]; to the west also are the Syssele[47].  To the north of the Horithi is Maegtha-land[48], and north of Maegtha-land is Sermende[49], quite to the Riffin[50], or the Riphean mountains.

Sec. 9.  To the south-west of Dene or Denmark, formerly mentioned, is that arm of the ocean which surrounds Brittania, and to the north is that arm which is called the Ostsea[51] or East sea; to the east and north are the north Dene[52], or North Danes, both on the continent and on the islands.  To the east are the Afdrede[53].  To the south is the mouth of the AElfe or Elbe, and some part of Old Seaxna[54] or Old Saxony.  The North Dene have to the north that arm of the sea which is called the East sea, and to the east is the nation of the Osti[55], and the Afdrede, or Obotrites, to the south.  The Osti have to the north of them that same arm of the sea, or the Baltic, and so have the Winedas and the Burgendas[56].  Still more to the south is Haefeldan[57].  The Burgendas have this same arm of the sea to the west, and the Sweon[58] to the north.  To the east are the Sermende, to the south the Surfe[59].  The Sweons have to the south the arm of the sea called Ost, and to the north, over the wastes, is Cwenland[60], to the north-west are the Scride-finnas[61], and the North-men[62] are to the west[63].
