NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Dec. 1. 1855. 



the forow'ing attempt to supply the particulars 

 for which he has appealed to the readers of " N. 

 &Q." 



Olevensis probably indicates the See of Oliva in 

 Mauritania, mentioned in the ancient Notitia of 

 the African Church. Tiiere is also an OUba, now 

 Olite, in Spanish NavaiTC, but I have no evidence 

 of its having ever been the seat of a bishop. The 

 same objection applies to Olivengn in Portugal. 



Calliopolis, now Gallipoli, in Thrace, one of the 

 churches subject to the Patriarch of Constanti- 

 nople. But there is also in the south of Italy an 

 episcopal city of the same name, subject to the 

 Archbishop of Otranto. Car. a S. Pauli ; Geogr. 

 Sacr., p. 233. and p. 59. ; and Bingham's Anliqq., 

 bk. ix. cap. iv. sect. ii. 



Sohib7-iensis. Perhaps Solveldt, also Solweide, 

 in Carinthia, which was formerly episcopal. Geogr. 

 Sacr., p. 77. ; Bingham's Aiitiqq., book ix. cap. iv. 

 sect. xix. 



Chrysopolis, now Scutari., in the ancient Bi- 

 thyiiia, opposite to Constantinople. It is not de- 

 signated as episcopal in the Notitia, but Chalcedon, 

 which is near it, is ; and perhaps tiie two may have 

 been confounded together. Of this place, and the 

 origin of its name, see Steph. de Urhibus. 



Mimatensis. This is the Gdbalum of Sidonius 

 Apollinaris (see Geogr. Sacr., p. 153.), but which 

 is also called Mimate and Mimatum, but now 

 Mande, or rather Meude, situate in the Gevaudan, 

 a part of the ancient A(|uitain, now included in 

 the Department of the Lozere. Its see was for- 

 merly under the Archbishop of Bourges, but is 

 now subject to Lyons. The Gabali, whose name 

 still remains in Gevaudan, 'are more than once 

 mentioned by Ca;sar, De Bella Gall., lib. vii. 



Aurisacencis. Perhaps Auria, now Orense 

 (which 'is tlie same name), a city of Spain on the 

 IVIinho. The see was subject to the Archbishop 

 of Coinpostella. Or it may be tliat the see indi- 

 cated is that of Abrincce, now Avrunches, an 

 ancient city of Normandy. Here the celebrated 

 Huet was bishop. The see was subject to the 

 Archbishop of Rouen. 



Zagabrcnsis. This is from Zagabra, now Za- 

 grab, a city of Croatia, near the site of the ancient 

 Siscia, mentioned by Prudentius. The Germans 

 call it Agram. It was one of the eight sees sub- 

 ject to the Archbishop of Colocz. There was 

 formerly preserved in it a MS. described as the 

 original of St. Mark's Gospel, written by the 

 Evangelist's own hand, but probably belonging to 

 n much later age. In the Topographia magni 

 regni Hungariee, Vindob., 1750, p. 9., it is iden- 

 tified witii the Soraga of Ptolemy, 



Damestensis. Perhaps Augusta Vindellcorum, 

 Augshurg, famous for tiie Confession of 1530, it 

 having been formerly calltjd Damasia, a name 

 which has also been borne by Diessen in Bavaria, 

 aiconling to Ferrarius and Baudrand. 

 No. 318.] 



Poletensis. Perhaps Pola in Istria, episcopal 

 under the Patriarch of Aquileia ; or Polentia, now 

 Puglienza, in the island of Majorca. 



Cuudurensis. Perhaps Connor, or rather Conner, 

 an ancient see in the north of Ireland, now united 

 to Down and Dromore. 



AndicunensJs. This may be Andaija, now An- 

 daye, in the ancient Aquitain, Department of the 

 Pyrenees ; or Andainum, now Anduge, in the 

 Duchy of Luxembourg, famous for the Abbey of 

 St. Hubert, and the cure of hydrophobia. It was 

 under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Lotich, 

 who was a prince of the empire. 



Navatensis. Perhaps Nabantia, now Tomar, in 

 the Portuguese province of Estramadura. 



Sirmium is a celebrated city of Hungary, men- 

 tioned by Aminianus Marcellinus, Hist., lib. xv., 

 and by Menander in the Excerpta de Legationibus. 

 The learned Friar Otrokocsi (Origg. Hungg., 

 part ii. p. 97.) will have the name derived from 

 the Hebrew □")% inundavit, alluding to its po- 

 sition between the rivers Saave and Drave. The 

 Germans call it Sirmisch ; the Hungarians, Szreim 

 or Szerem. It is noted for the Arian Council 

 held in it about a.d. 350. It must be carefully 

 distinguished from Sermione, in the country of 

 Brescia, which is mentioned by Catullus. 



Abterus. 



Dublin. 



I am greatly obliged to your correspondents 

 for the information they have given me respecting 

 the Roman Catholic Sees which I inquired about 

 (see Vol. xii., p. 125.). They have supplied me 

 witli nearly all I wished to know. 



I find upon examining the " Register of Guild 

 or Fraternity of Corpus Christi in Boston, Lin- 

 colnshire," ilarleian MSS., No. 4795., that the 

 following bishops became brethren of that guild 

 in the years prefixed to their respective names : 



1451. " Thomas Clyfford alias Balscot, Doctor Decre- 

 toriim ac Epi' Enaclulunens'. 



1479. " Tliomas Yngylsb}', Rathlinens' Epic'. 



1481. " Ricardus Eps' Assabeiis'. 



1492. "Augustinus Epus' Lydens, et Sutfrigan' Epi 

 Lincoln." 



1498. « William Dei gra' Epi' Carlens'. 



1512. "Johannes Maionens Epus' ac Dni Epi Lincoln 

 Suffragan'. 



1518. "Johannes Tynmouth al' Maynelyn Epus Ar- 

 golicensis. Alderman of the Gilde, 1519." 



If any of your correspondents can furnish me 

 with information respecting John Tynmouth, 

 alias Maynelyn, who was Vicar of Boston circa 

 1515 to circa 1530, and is supposed to have 

 written the life of St. Botolph, I shall be much 

 obliged. I venture to suppose, that for " Napoli 

 di Malmsia," referred to by your correspondent 

 F. C. H., Vol. xii., p. 191., I should read "Napoli 

 di Romania." The latter being very near the site 

 of ancient Argos, the former at a considerable
