ANDERETIOMBA; another reading of ANDERESIO, a town of Britain, mentioned by the geographer of Ravenna only; in whose list it comes next to Calleva Atrebatum, or Silchester. Miba, a name equally unknown, follows; and then comes Mutuantonis, a military station in the south of Sussex. As far as the order in which the geographical names of so worthless a writer is of any weight at all, the relation of Anderesio, or Anderetiomba, combined with the fact of the word being evidently compound, suggests the likelihood of the first syllable being that of the present town of Andover.
