in Ancient Geography, (Ptolemy); Pignttiae, (Pliny); a town or citadel of Dalmatia, on the Adriatic, opposite to the island Brattia, scarcely five miles off, and 40 miles to the east of Salona. According to Fortis, a mountain, a large hollow, and submarine springs are seen here. "This hollow (says he) seems to have been excavated by some ancient river. The springs which bubble up from under the sea are so considerable, that they might pass for the rising again of a river sunk under ground. Vrullia has the same derivation as the word Vril, which in Slavonian signifies a fountain; and this etymology, rendering the name of Vrullia the Berullia of Porphyrogenitus analogous to that of Peguntium, since Πέρυς and Vril are synonymous, induces me to believe, that the cattle named Peguntium by ancient geographers was situated in this place, and not at the mouth of the Cettina. No remarkable vestiges of antiquity now exist on the spot; yet it is evident, by the quantity of fragments of vases, tiles, and sepulchral inscriptions now and then dug up, that this tract of coast was well inhabited in the Roman times. The principal cause why the traces of ancient habitations cannot be discovered about Vrullia, is the steepness of the hill above it, and the quantity of stones brought down from thence by the waters. The mouth of the hollow of Vrullia is dreaded by seamen, on account of the sudden impetuous gusts of wind that blow from thence, and in a moment raise a kind of hurricane in the channel between the Primorje and the island of Brazza, to the great danger of barks (surprised by it)."
