FOUND IN BRITAIN. 115 



Henzen says — re praefechis honore trihunus. We have an example of 

 this in the ease of M. Stlaccius Coranus (Orelli, n. 5017), who was Trib. 

 Mil. Leg. II. Aug. Prsef. Equitum Alse Hispanoriim in Britannia. 

 We may infer from the inscription of Donatianus, that there was an ala 

 at 3fagna whose name is unknown, or else that the legion in which he 

 was tribune was there, and we have a memorial of the presence in that 

 place of at least one legion. 



(g) In p. 407, an altar, found at Chesterholm, is figured. It bears 



the inscription : 



DEONO 

 NEPTV 

 SARABO 

 SINO 

 Dr. Bruce reniarks : 



"It may be read DEO NEPTVNO SARABO SINO— to the God Neptune, of 

 tlie bay of Sarabus. The second line not being long enough to hold the whole 

 of Neptune's name, the last syllable of it has been added to the first." 



Dr. Bruce has omitted to mention where this " bay of Sarabus " is to 

 be found, and to adduce an example of the metaplasmus of sinus from 

 the 4th to the 2nd declension. 



78. In some cases, Dr. Bruce seems to me to have made a wrong 

 choice between two readings. In the inscription on an altar figured 

 in p. 280, the names of two persons are found, viz., Alb. Severus 

 and Vic. Sevro. In Brit. Rom. Inscrip., p. 13, I suggested, instead 

 of Alhus Severus, and Victore Severo, as given in the second edition 

 of the Roman Wall, Albius Severus and Victor io Sever o, but Dr. 

 Bruce retains his expansions. My ground for the changes is, that 

 where we have abbreviations of names before cognomina, those ending 

 in ius should be preferred, unless we have authority in each instance 

 for other forms. Sometimes either may be used, as in nomina ending 

 in nus, e. gr., Sallienus or Sallienius, Pupienus or Pupienius, Alfenus 

 or Alfenius. 



In the inscription given in p. 220, Dr. Bruce retains his miles annos 

 XVI, although Mr. Hedley's militavit annos XVI Vi the correct expan- 

 sion, and similarly civis Pannonice instead of Mr. Hedley's civis Pan- 

 nonicus. In those inscriptions that have now for the first time appeared 

 in the pages of " The Roman Wall," there appear to be similar errors 

 in choice. 



(a) In p. 136, we have a fragmentary epitaph, of which one of the 

 lines is ISNORICIANXXX. In Brit. Rom. Inscrip., I expressed the
