I have already discussed at length (“The Maryport Camp—What 
was its Name?” Zvransactions, No. xii.), but a short resumé may 
be not out of place. Amongst the various names applied to this 
station we find Axelodunum, Glanoventa, Olenacum, Virosidum, 
and Volantium. The name Volantium may be speedily dismissed, 
whilst of the other four, one—Axelodunum—has been decided 
merely on the testimony of altars; but as I have shown the ineffi- 
ciency of this method of proof, and have placed Axelodunum 
elsewhere, we must also dismiss this name, if the argument be sound. 
I shall have occasion shortly to speak of two of the remaining 
three in connection with other stations, and thus, for the present, 
we shall merely refer to the name G/lanoventa, which is next in 
sequence. There is probably not any direct authority favouring 
this allocation, though it has been stated by Dr. Bennet (Lysons’ 
Cumberland, p. cxlii.), that, in his time an opinion prevailed, which 
apparently favours Maryport “as not unsuitable to the position of 
that town in the roth Iter. of Antonius,” whilst Baines (Astory 
of Yorkshire, vol. 1, p. 331) says it is either Cockermouth 
(Papcastle ?), or some town on the coast of Cumberland. That it 
would form an admirable termination to the roth Iter., must, I 
think, be admitted ; and if this be allowed, it at once places the 
toth Iter. on an equality with all the other Itinera with regard to 
their apparent plan of starting or ending at a seaport. Into the 
vexed question of the roth Iter. we cannot enter, that would require 
a paper by itself; but, granted that Maryport is Glanoventa, and 
that authorities are also correct in allocating Galava at Keswick, 
Alone at Ambleside, and Galacum at Kendal, much has been 
done to decide this vexed point. 
Canon Mathews, in a recent paper, says that “the total mileage 
to Glanoventa agrees with the position of either Whitley Castle 
or Old Carlisle.” We may add that Maryport fulfils the same 
conditions. 
That Moresby was a Notitia station we may well accept on such 
eminent authority as that of Longstaffe, Watkin, Dr. Bruce, and 
Ferguson, and its name, still in sequence after Glannibanta, would 
be Alionis, According to the Notitia, the garrison was the 3rd
