FOUND IN BRITAIN. 131 



there in A.D. 106, in A. D. 124, and at the beginning of the fifth 

 century, as appears from the diplomas of Trajan and Hadrian, and from 

 the Notitia. Ahallava is also well known as a place in the island, 

 although there are various opinions as to the identification of the site. 

 In the Notitia, a detachment of Moors, called Aurelian, is said to have 

 been stationed there. Nor is there any difficulty as to the use of 

 Aballavensium. We have similarly Numerus exploratorum Nemanin- 

 gensium, Henzen's n. 6731, Numerus Brittonum Triputiensium, Orelli's 

 n. 1627, and Numerus exploratorum Bremeniensium, Bruce's Roman 

 Wall, 3rd edn., p. 315. See Brit. Rom. Inscrip. p. 139. Dr. Bruce's 

 difficulty as to the inscription, I apprehend, is that if the same princi- 

 ple,* by which High Rochester has been recognized as Bremenium, on 

 account of BREMEN and BREM in inscriptions on altars found there, 

 be applied in this case, we must identify Ahallava with Papcastle. 

 If this be adopted, the views as to Brampton and Watchcross must be 

 abandoned, and great latitude must be given to the terms per lineam 

 valli in the Notitia. For the present it must suffice to have noticed 

 the difficulty. At some future time I hope to examine the general 

 question relative to the stations after Amhoglanna, and to offer some 

 suggestions, that may, perhaps, be useful, even though in some casas 

 expressed doubtfully, as I have not the advantage of personal knowledge 

 of the localities. 



(m) In p. 414, we have the following inscription, on a stone at 



Netherby : 



• D • M 

 TITVLLINIA 

 PVSSITTA- 

 CIS-RAETA 

 YIXSIT- 

 ANNOS- XXXV 

 MENSESVIII 

 DIES-XV- 



Dr. Bruce expands and translates it thus : — 



" D\iis] M\_anibus'\ TituUinia Fusitta cilv]is (?) Eceta vixsit annos xzxv, 

 menses viii, dies xv. 



" To the divine Manes, TituUinia Pusitta, a native of Leicester, lived thirty- 

 five years, three months, [and] fifteen days." 



The inscription seems simple ; almost the only doubtful point appears 

 to be as to CIS, and of this, I think. Dr. B.'s expansion should be
