Late antique register of the 17 Roman provinces of Gaul and their metropolitan cities and civitates, along with a number of castra and a single harbour (portus).

Manuscript witnesses

Text
Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, MS lat. 4909 

A late manuscript (15th century), no. 56 in Mommsen’s edition, but singled out here because it ‘updates’ the original list of Provincia Lugdunensis Tertia with five additions: Dol, Saint-Malo (c. Maclonien.), Saint-Brieuc, Tréguier and Saint-Pol-de-Léon. This interpolation appears to be unattested elsewhere.
