The Commentary of Father Monserrate 2.4.3

2.4.3

Three days of difficult and even dangerous travelling brought the party from Siuranges to Naroaris; for after the town of Cyperinum is passed the country is uninhabited and mountainous, and many narrow defiles and streams are met with. This district is called after the neighbouring town; its savage inhabitants, knowing that they can commit robberies with impunity, are wont to attack travellers from ambush and to carry off their goods as plunder.
