Devonia
Devonia seu Devoniensis comitatus, aliter Dumnonia (vulgo Devon et interdum Devonshire) est comitatus Angliae quae ad meridionalem et occidentalem partem spectat. Nomen habet e civitate prae-Romana et Romana  Dumnoniorum, qui terram Devoniae et Cornubiae incoluerunt; ibi imperio Romano recesso regnum Dumnonia substitit, cuius orientalis pars a regibus Occidentalium Saxonum saeculo VII et VIII debellata est et in formam scirae vel provinciae, duce (ealdorman) praeposito, reducta. Ab anno 850 in Chronicis Anglosaxonum refertur. Caput comitatus est urbs Exonia, iam a Romanis nomine "Isca" nota.

Pagi finitimi sunt Dorcestria et Somersetia ad orientem spectantes, Cornubia ad occidentem. Litora Manicae Bristoliensis et Oceani Hibernici borealem partem comitatús, Oceani Britannici meridianam partem confiniunt. Hunc flumina satis multa attingunt, Axa, Sid, Otter, Isca, Tinea, Derte, Avon, Erme, Tamarus. Ad boream defluunt duo tantum flumina et iuxta ostium se coniungunt, scilicet Taw et Torridge. Insula Lunda in oceano iacet haud longe ab litore Devoniae occidentalis remota. Rupes periculosae Eddystone, pharo munitae, chiliometris fere 15 a portu Plimmutae ad meridiem versus distant. Extremitas occidentalis huius comitatus, ad Oceanum spectans, est Herculis promunturium. Inter montes altissimos sunt High Willhays, Yes Tor, Mis Tor et Ryder's Hill saltús Dartmoor atque etiam Holdstone Hill et Five Barrows in partibus septentrionalibus eminentes.
