Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

Narni in Italy is my town and Narnia are the old roman name , we have the river Nera and Nahar are the old word for river.
Naharki are te old name of the peoples in this region , named also Nahartes like you can see in

The Eugubine Tables

The most important testimony relating to the Umbrian people is constituted by the "Eugubine Tables", which were discovered in 1444, carefully buried under the vestiges of the Roman theatre in Gubbio. The series of sacred texts engraved on the bronze of these famous tablets, compiled between the 3rd and 1st century B.C. in the Umbrian language using the Etruscan alphabet and the Latin alphabet, is a fundamental, or rather, unique, source for understanding and interpreting the Italic languages, as well as an essential document in relation to our historical knowledge of the organisation of the cities, the foundation rites according to which they were governed, the organisation in the territory of the various Umbrian communities, and the relations that existed with neighbouring ethnic groups. It is worth recalling the prayer that the Ikuvini, in other words the inhabitants of the present-day town of Gubbio, addressed to their tutelary gods to protect them from attack by enemy peoples, such as the Nahartes, recognised as the inhabitants of the Narni basin in which the river Nera (Nahar) flows.

But many other words look like this for exemple Narva in Estonia and in nearest place ...............

Thanks to Kestutis that send me a e-mail about the Word Narnia
that I share with you

N A R N I A
Straboni, vel Narnia, Umbriae civitas, per quam Nar fluv. labitur, a quo et nomen accepti, Liv. l. 10. c. 9. Olim Nequinum dicebatur, teste Pliniô, l. 3. c. 14. a nequitia incolarum, qui obsessi, se liberosque occidere quam dedere maluerunt.
Patria Nervae Imperatoris et Ioh. XIV. Pontificis. Ad montis est radices, Ferrar. et in parte meridionali, rupes habet admodum praecipites, quarum imo in hiatu Nar, per scopulos, confragosô alveô labitur. Municipes huius loci Nartes quondam dictos fuisse, ex antiquis marmoribus docet Hermolaus. Plinio vero Narnienses. Sic enim ille l. 31. c. 4. Inagro Narniensi quaedam terrae imbribus sicciores fiunt, quod admirandis suis inseruit M. Cicero, siccitate lutum fieri prodens, imbre autem pulverem. Nerni hodie dicitur Leandro.
Sil. l. 8. v. 458.
Hispellum ac duro monti per saxa recumbens
Narnia. ———— ————
Martial. l. 7. Epigr. 92.
Narnia sulfureô quam gurgite candidus amnis.
Circuit, ancipiti vix adeunda iugô.
Claudian. de 6. Consul Honorii. v. 515.
Celsa dehinc patulum prospectans Narnia campum
Regali calcatur equo; rarique coloris
Non procul amnis abest urbi, qui nominis auctor
Ilice sub densâ silvis arctatus opacis
Inter utrumque iugum tortis anfractibus albet.

heh, Beppo, you may be assuming a more classical education than I at least have. For the benefit of those of us that don't have Latin, could you (or anyone) give us a translation of the important bits?

Oh, and by the way, if your correspondent Kestutis forgot to mention it, what he emailed you is page 274 of Johann Jacob Hofmann's Lexicon Universale, an encylopedia published in Germany in 1698.

Thanks! Your English is lot better than my anything else, and it's just about as good as my English :toothy-grin:

It looks like the Livius quote is trying to say that the original inhabitants preferred to kill their families and themselves rather than become prisoners of Rome.

It would be Plinius the Elder that commented on the theater at Narnia.
