NOTES ON INSCRIBED STONES IN CORNWALL. 69 
Harding, Powell, &c., a List of Early Chieftains and Kings. We 
may suppose he did not place too much reliance upon it; but 
whether it be of any great value or not, it does not supply us with 
the exact names we are in search of; the nearest, perhaps, being 
that of “Cloteius or Clotanus, King of Cornwall.”* 
None of the serfs freed at Bodmin, between A.D. 940 and 
1020+ appear to have been called by such a name as Clotual. 
In the neighbourhood of the Phillack Stone are the remains 
of the ancient oratory of St. Gothian or Gwithian on the sandy 
shore. I have therefore been careful to observe whether the first 
word of the Inscription could be read as Gotuan instead of 
Clotuali, but I find that it cannot. 
Mogratti.—This word has already been partially dealt with ; 
a portion of it having been assumed to mean—‘Son of.” In 
support of such an interpretation may be cited the remarkable fact, 
that, in this class of inscriptions, we so frequently find a name 
beginning with Mac, Mag, or Mog,—placed last on the stone.t 
This seems to shew that the original paternal name was often 
so adapted to use (by having Mac§ added to it) as to become 
7th century, Bishop of St. Malo, and Conf. St. Gudula, V, A.D. 712, also 
occurs, and St. Cleder (Clether). Cletus or Cletius, it is said, was Pope and 
Martyr, lst century. The following names are well known. Clovis (chief of 
the Franks, 481), originally a heathen; he subdued all France (except Brittany) 
and died (Ist king) 511. St. Clotilda or Clotildis (a Burgundian) his Queen, 
d. 545. Clothaire, 558. He burnt alive his rebellious son, with wife and 
children, and was uncle, of St. Cloud or Clodoaldus, Bp. and Conf: 560. 
Clodulphus or St. Clou, Bp. of Metz and Conf: 696. (One of these saints, it 
is stated, was chosen—on account of his name—to be Patron of the Cloutiers 
or Nailsmiths). St. Clatide Arch-Bp. of Besancon, and Conf: 696 or 703. 
We might also allude to the connection capable of being traced between some 
classical forms of words, like these, their roots and varied developments— 
Claudius, Clodius, &¢.; as well as afew Greek words; and the modern close, 
cloud, &c., clottire, &c., (Hng. and Fr.). 
* Dr. Borlase gives besides,—The last King of the Britons, ‘‘ Cadwal- 
lader fil: Cadvallon, Cadwallo, or Cadwal.” (These names being compounded 
of Cad, i.e., war, will not suit our requirements for the first syllable).
