Thence they coasted northward along the coast of Portugal, Spain, and France, crossing the English Channel to the Cassiterides from which they obtained tin. Strabo mentions these islands. They were in the high seas, but nearly in the same latitude as Britain; these are now known as the Scilly Islands, off the coast of Cornwall. He quotes or rather refers to the writings of Posidonius: "The tin is not found on the surface, as authors commonly relate, but is dug up. It is produced both in places ...among the barbarians who dwell beyond the Lusitanians and in the islands Cassiterides; that from Britain is carried to Marseilles." The same author writes as follows: The Cassiterides are ten in number and lie near each other in the ocean toward the north from the harbor of Artabri. One of them is desert, but the others are inhabited by men in black cloaks, clad in tunics reaching to the feet, girt about the breast and walking with staves, thus resembling the Furies we see in tragic representations.
