NOTES ON LATIN INSCRIPTIONS FOUND IN BRITAIN. 403 
This conjecture is supported by the use of the rare formula F. L. 
M., which I read fecit libens merito. If the representation of the 
altar, as given by Mr. Warner in pl. 2, fig. 6, be accurate, there is 
reason to suspect the reading BRV[C]ETI - F., as in that representation 
it seems to be more probably BRVCI: FIL-, or rather BRVSCI: 
FIL., as in one of the Lincoln inscriptions, noticed in Art. 42 of these 
notes. 
53. The opinion, which I have expressed in the last article, relative 
to Sulinus and Scultor is favoured by an examination of the inscription 
on another altar, scil. : 
DEAE 
SVLIMI 
NERVAE 
SVLINVS 
MATV 
RIFIL 
VSLM. 
2. e. Dez Suli Minerve, Sulinus, Maturi filius, votum solvit libens 
merito. 
It may, I think, be reasonably inferred, from the apparent etymo- 
logy of the name Sulinus, and from the circumstance, that the 
individual had but one name, that the dedicator was a barbarian, 7. e. 
a native Briton, or Gaul. This inference derives support from the 
order of the words SVLI MINERVAE. If the dedicator had been 
a Roman, or a Romanized provincial, he would probably have conform- 
ed to the usage of placing the designation of the Roman deity first, 
and that of the identified barbarian deity second. There are many 
examples of this usage. Amongst the most obvious are Marti Camulo, 
Apollini Toutiorigi, Diane Abnobe.

the following inscription :—
