somehow the list had got inverted. The following list illustrates 
this method.

But it may not be unreasonable to point out that several apparent 
inconsistencies appear in the allocations already named on this 
plan. 
Thus, at Old Carlisle, if it be Glanoventa, we have in Notitia 
times the Coh. I. Morini. But such a regiment stationed here 
would surely be of but little use ; apparently we require a cavalry 
regiment, to judge from the network of roads radiating to all points 
of the compass, and that such a regiment was stationed there, we 
have abundant testimony in the altars found near the station. 
For the same reason, the 6th Cohort Nervians would scarcely be 
a satisfactory garrison for Stanwix, with its important connections. 
Here, especially, would a cavalry regiment be an absolute necessity. 
Again, the position cf a cavalry regiment at Burgh seems quite 
inexplicable; and although the presence of a cavalry regiment in 
the earlier portion of the Roman occupation was an absolute 
necessity at Maryport, such does not seem to have been the case 
at a later period. 
Still, we may fairly ask whether there is any probability that we 
may ever be able to rely upon the unsupported testimony of altars. 
To do so implicitly, we should require to have certain information 
on at least two points, viz: (1) That the cohort mentioned in the
