992 NOTES ON LATIN INSCRIPTIONS FOUND IN BRITAIN. 
24, In the same work of Mr. Smith’s, vol. ii. p. 201, ‘we find the 
following notice of ‘‘an imperfect imscription found at Caernaryon 
(Segontium), which was contributed to the ‘ Archzlogia Cambrensis,’ 
by Mr. James Foster.” 
“Tt is on two pieces of stone, which, on comparison, appeared to have belonged 
to one and the same slab;

“The first two lines mention Severus and Caracalla; the second and third 
[third and fourth] <refer'to'an aqueduct or aqueducts, which, having become de- 
eayed through age, had been restored by the first cohort of the Tungri; that is ‘to 
say, presuming the SVNC of the engraving in the “ Archeologia Cambrensis ” 
for April, 1853, should be TVNG. The remaining lines probably gave the name 
of the commander of the cohort, and that of the superintendent of the work of 
restitution.” 
It is plain, that Mr. Smith correctly explains 
[SJEPT[IMIVS] SEVERVS- PIVS: PER[TINAX] 
[A]VREL[IVS] ANTONINV{S] 
as standing for the Emperors Severus and Caracalla; and

‘as referring to* an aqueduct, which, having ‘become decayed through 
age, had been restored. Nor is his opinion as to the contents of the 
fifth and sixth lines improbable; but I have no doubt that the co- 
hort named in the fourth line is not cohors prima Tungrorum, but 
cohors prima Sunuc[orum], the N and V being ligulate. This cohort 
is mentioned in the tabula honeste missionis found at Stannington, 
in Yorkshire (Gough’s Camden, iii. p. 263, Monwm. Hist. Brit. 
n. 9), from which it appears that at the time (a.p. 124) it was serv-
