26. In the University of Glasgow a monumental tablet is preserved, 
which was found many years ago in the Roman Station at Ardoch in 
Scotland. It is figured in Stuart’s Caledonia Romana, (ed. Prof. 
Thomson, pl. v. fig. 5.) and the following explanation is given of the 
iscription :— 
DIS MANIBVS 
AMMONIVS DA 
MIONIS « COH 
I HISPANORVM 
STIPENDIORVM 
XXVII HEREDES 
F°C 
“To the shade of Ammonius Damion, Centurion of the First Cohort of the 
Spanish Stipendiaries, who served for 27 years, his heirs have erected this 
monument.” 
To this translation are subjoined notes to the effect, that others 
have regarded Damionis as governed by filius or servus understood ; 
and that it would perhaps be more correct to join xxvii to heredes,— 
i.e. his twenty-seven heirs. 
Horsley (Britannia Romana, p. 205) expresses his preference for 
considermg Damionis as the nominative case, and compares such 
names as Petilius Cerealis.
