PTOLEMY'S GEOGRAPHY. 231 



), which by general consent, following the dic- 

 tum of Camden, is placed in Dunsley Bay, near Whitby. Ac- 

 cording to this reference Ptolemy took no notice of the Tees. 



The description given by Ptolemy of the interior is in these 

 words : 



" South from the Elgovse and the Otadeni, stretching from 

 sea to sea, are the BRIGANTES, among whose cities

Beside these about the well-havened bay are the PARISOI, and the City 

 Uerovapta Petuaria 20 40 56 40." 



Of these places Epiacum and Vinnovium are in the County of 

 Durham, and both lie to the north of Catarractonium ; Calatum 

 is indeterminate ; Rigodunum has been conjecturally referred to 

 Ribchester, but that is also supposed to be COCCIUM. If 

 Camounlodounon be the Cambodunum of later date, it is some- 

 where in the West Riding. The other places, viz. Catarracto- 

 nium, Isurium, Olicana and Eboracum, are satisfactorily deter- 

 mined in Yorkshire, by lines of road, camps and inscriptions. 

 Petvaria has been variously placed by different writers, but I 

 think Beverley is its true representative. 



If we now combine into a map the data given by Ptolemy, we 

 obtain the subjoined delineation of the Brigantian and Parisian 

 territory, the first meridian being in the Fortunate Isles, far to 



sea? 2. Does it mean dwellers on the Cliff (Gavr or gant and uigon), as 

 Baxter supposes? 3 Has it not a Teutonic aspect, like Haiburnwyk, 

 north of Scarborough wyk meaning a small inlet of the sea?
