Insula Lerina vel Lirinus, quae jacet Lat. 43o 30' 6" Long. 24o 42' 55". Lerina hodie nomen S. Honorati habet, qui celeberrimi quondam totius Galliae monasterii in illa insula auctor fuit et conditor. Ergo in insula illa, praeter monasterium, erat aliqua habitatio hominum secularium. Remotiorem porro villulam vocavit Lirinum: quia cum insula esset in mari Mediterraneo, manifestum erat eam remotam esse ab urbibus et oppidis.
