ANTIQUITIES OF NORTHUMBERLAND. 127 



" Anclabria et Anclabris, ab anculare, quod erat miniftrare." 

 " This is big enough to contain the Exta of a flieep, and other 

 " fmall victims, which feems to me the likelieft employment for 

 " it: and that it was one of thofe facrificing utenflls that Virgil 

 " more than once calls Lances. 



" Lancibus et pandis fumantia reddimus exta. 



" Lancefque et liba feremus. 



" Dona ferunt, cumulantque oncratis lancibus aras. . 



" The Lances were both round and fquare ; the Difcus, ufed in 

 " facrifices for the fame purpofe, feems to have been always 

 " round." 



A print of it was published by Mr. William Shaftoe. 



Two famous altars, with Greek infcriptions, were found in 

 Corbr'ulge church-yard ; one in honour of the Tyrian Hercules^ de- 

 dicated to Diodora the prieftefs ; large, hollow at the top, as ufual 

 for incenfe.
