Athenopolis town

ΜΑΣΣΑΛΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΓΑΛΛΙΑ
  Athenopolis, a city on the coast of Gallia Narbonensis, dependent on Massilia. (Mela, ii. 5; Plin. iii. 4.) Stephanus (s. v. Athenai) mentions an Athenae of the Ligystii, which may be this place. There are no measures for determining the position of Athenopolis. D'Anville observes, that Pliny and Mela seem to place this Massaliot settlement south of Forum Julii (Frejus); and yet in his map he fixes it north of Frejus, at a place called Agay. Walckenaer, at a guess, places it at St. Tropez, which is on a bay nearly due south of Frejus. The Athenaeopolitae of Varro (L. L. viii. 35) are assumed to be the inhabitants of this place.

Azania town

Azania, a city belonging to Massilia, according to Stephanus (s. v. Azania), quoting Philo. The place is only mentioned in this passage, which is worth notice, as adding to the list of Massaliot towns in the south of France. Walckenaer (Geog., &c., vol. i. p. 280) conjectures that it may be at Azillaret, near Azille, in the department of Aude; but this is merely a guess, founded on a resemblance of names.
