there seems to be no absolute necessity that there should be any 

 remains in the shape of altars, etc. Indeed, if the Morini were 

 stationed at the Maryport camp in Notitia times, there is not much 

 probability that such testimony exists. 



Of one stone found at Maryport I should like to have offered a 

 few remarks, viz., the one No. 880 Lapidarium Septentrionale ; 

 but I must content myself with saying that the inscription there 

 given is not strictly correct, the second line being, in reality, 

 QviNANAH, and not Qvi nanat ; nor does this appear to be the 

 only error in the reading : in which case the rendering will not be 

 accepted as final. 



Whilst thus holding to the name Glanoventa, it appears to me 

 that roads are before altars in the determination of places ; and I 

 feel certain that if the search had been conducted on these lines, 

 rather than on those of mere theory, there would have been more 

 certainty in the allocation of places. 



In conclusion, I think it only right to publicly own the deep 

 obligations under which I am placed to Mrs. Senhouse. Without 

 her very kind help in the matter of books, I could never have 

 hoped to do a tithe that has been done. The quality of what I 

 have written does not detract from that kindness.
