286 NOTES ON LATIN INSCRIPTIONS FOUND IN BRITAIN. 
princeps. Of the two I prefer the latter, as we find PRI - PRI. for 
princeps prior, or primus, in Orelli, n. 3451. 
18. In the Celt, Roman, and Saxon, there is an instructive chap- 
ter on “The different races in Roman Britain,’ in which Mr. 
Wright has collected the scattered notices which bear on the Ethno- 
logy of the period. As might be expected in a task of considerable 
labour, and involving many minute details, some errors have crept in, 
which require notice, lest they should mislead others. One of these 
(page 258) is, that “Caius Antiochus Lysimachus, commemorated 
in a Greek inscription found in Scotland, was no doubt a Greek.” 
Mr. Wright has been led into error by a mistake in Professor 
Thomson’s edition of Stuart’s Caledonia Romana. In No. 1 of 
Plate VI. of that work,* a stone, preserved in the Museum of the 
Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, is figured, in which the name 
Lysimachus occurs; but the stone was found, not in Scotland, but in 
Africa, and Prof. Thomson acknowledges the mistake in his preface. 
19. Mr. Wright also remarks, in the same chapter: 
“Uriconium ( Wrozeter) appears to have been occupied by Thracians; Ciren- 
cester by Thracians and Indians.” 
There is no doubt that an inscription has been found at each of 
those places, which furnishes evidence that a horseman of a Thracian 
cohort was buried in each, but there is no ground for the assertion 
that there were “Indians” at Cirencester. An inscription, indeed, 
was found there, commemorating Dannicius, a horseman ale Indiane; 
but this body did not derive its name from the nationality of the 
men composing it. It was probably called after Julius Indus, men- 
tioned in Tacit. Ann., 11.42; and there is reason to believe that the 
men serving in it were, for the most part, Trevirt. The ale seem to 
have received such designationst as Indiana, Frontoniana, Sebosiana, 
from the names of the officers who first raised or organized them, 
and in this respect resembled the military bodies in our own service 
in the East Indies, known by such names as “ Jacob’s,” or “ Hod- 
son’s Horse.” 
* The stone is a sepulchral memorial of Antiochis, the daughter of Lysimachus. It is 
not easy to tell, from the faint copy which I have before me, what the letters are which 
Mr. Wright read “Caius ;” but they unquestionably do not stand for that name. The first 
letter seems to be L, from which I infer that they most probably are sigla for the year of the 
Hmperor, as is common in the Greek inscriptions of Hgypt and Cyrene.
