74 THE ROMAN STATIONS OF DERBYSHIRE, 
Tr(ophimi) (or Trajani) Zu¢( . . .) Br(itannicum) ex. avg(entaria) ; 
by Dr. Hiibner 7Z7(berii) C/(audii) Z(ophimi ?)- Zu/(udense ?) 
&r(itannicum) ex arg(ento). 
This shows that the pig was like the last-named, from a private 
mine belonging to Tiberius Claudius Trophimus. Dr. McCaul 
leaves the expansion of the proper adjective in abeyance, as he 
admits he cannot give the correct version of the Latinised form. 
Dr. Hiibner expands it doubtfully as Zutudense. Both agree 
that it was from the British Zatudae, but whilst Dr. McCaul avers 
that ex. argentaria, which he renders as meaning that the lead 
contained silver, is the proper expansion of ex arg., Dr. Hubner 
asserts that ex azgento, meaning that the silver had been extracted 
from it, is correct. 
But whatever may be the correct reading, it is certain that all 
of these pigs of lead found between Matlock and Wirksworth 
bear in an abbreviated form the name of Zutudae. Mr. Bateman 
also tells us (p. 135) that “besides these inscribed pigs of lead, 
others of a similar form, without the important accompaniment of 
a legend, have been discovered in the neighbourhood of Wirks- 
worth. From the similarity of shape, the presumption is strongly 
in favour of their Roman origin ;” and at p. 159, when speaking of 
Oker Hill, Darley in the Dale, where he says 3rd brass coins of 
Gallienus, Postumus, Tetricus, Claudius Gothicus, etc., besides 
other Roman remains were found, he adds that, “In 1846, a pig 
of lead, of the Roman shape, was dug up near some ancient 
mineral works on the hill.” 
We have also the evidence of Roman interments, with a portion 
of an important inscription (hereafter to be described) found in 
the last century at Hopton, which is only one and three quarter 
miles from Wirksworth, that a station of some kind must have 
existed in the neighbourhood ; and I think there can be no doubt 
that it bore the name of Zu¢udae. We have no such evidence at 
Chesterfield, and should the remains of a station ever be brought 
to light there, they will probably be those of some other town 
named by Ravennas. 
The station Dervbentio, named next in the list by Ravennas, is
