NOTES ON LATIN. INSCRIPTIONS FOUND IN BRITAIN. 293: 
ing in Britain under the command of Auluntus Claudianus. This 
Caernaryon stone is valuable, as it and the tabula are the only 
extant memorials of the cohort. The Sunuci, or Sunici, were a 
Belgic people. They are mentioned by Tacitus and. Pliny, but their 
position has not been exactly defined. It is probable, however, that 
they lived between Cologne and the Meuse, about the eastern part of 
the modern Belgic province of Limbourg. 
25. In the Archeologia Aliana, vol. iv., a broken slab, which was 
found in Birdoswald (Ambloganna) during the excavations which were 
made under the direction of Mr. Potter in 1852, is figured; and that 
gentleman gives the following expansion of the inscription, which it 
bore: 
«SVB MODIO IV Sub[limo] Dio Ju- 
~LIO LEG AVG PR -lio leg{ato] Aug[ustali] Pro- 
PR COH I AEL DC Preetori Cohfors] i Ail[ia] D[a]c[orum]- 
CVI PRAEEST M cul preeest M[arcus | 
CL MENANDER Cl[audius] Menander 
TRIB Trib[unus].”’ 
Mr. Potter is of opinion, that ‘if this reading be correct, there is 
reason to suppose that the Julius here mentioned was Julius Severus, 
who, in the time of Hadrian, was propretor of Great Britain ;’’ and 
after examination, rejects a different reading which had been suggested, 
viz. Sub. Modio Julto. 
I am unable to comprehend. the grounds on which Mr. Potter 
adopted, Suélimo Dio, a reading which is unprecedented and scarcely 
intelligible. I, concur with Mr. Smith (Collectanea, Antiqua, iii. 
p.201), in. preferring Sub Dlodio Julio, which (as Mr.. Potter re- 
marks). gives “the name. of a propreetor of Britain. not hitherto 
known.’ I am not satisfied, however, as to the correctness of Julio. 
The fracture of the slab seems.to have so materially injured the letters, 
in. the second line, given. as, LI, that it. may reasonably be doubted 
whether that be the right reading. I am inclined to venture on the 
conjectures, that the injured. letters are ST, and that the Modius 
Justus named. here is the same, who, at a different time, was LEG ° 
AVG. PR: PR of Numidia. He is mentioned in the following in- 
scription given by Renier (Inscriptions. de I’ Algérie, n. 44) :
