sample: Chap. 7. De monte Viminali. BEcause of the abundance of wicker twigs, which did grow vpon this hill, it was called mons Viminalis, vimen signifying a twigge, or ozier. I am not ignorant that some would haue this hil to be named Viminalis from Iupiter Vimineus, whereas Iupiter himselfe was named Vimineus from this hill, because he had here many altars erected in the honour of him. Both this hill, and Iupiter were called Fagutales from sylva fagea .i. a cops of beech-trees, which did grow therevpon. vid. Rosin. Antiq. lib. 1. cap. 9. (a3r)
