Frrcuson—On the Legend of Dathi. 175 
Larrand, Corde, Moli, and Grenis of the list have such a corre- 
spondence with Clarona, Quarten, Mollis, and Grinau, as to afford 
ground for conjecturing that Fale is also represented by the Walle- 
stadt of the last century.” Of these it may be observed that Quarten, 
which in the last century was Quart,” Mollis, and Grinau, stand rela- 
tively to one another in the same sequence as Corde, Moli, and Grenis. 
This collocation is the more remarkable because, though there are 
numerous Mols and Miuhls scattered through the Alpine neighbour- 
hoods, there is not, so far as I can learn, any other Quarten or 
Grinau.** 
Before dealing with the remaining names Cinni and Mornar, enu- 
merated by the gloss-writer, reference may be made to another list, 
apparently derived from an independent source, which Mac Firbis has 
given in his version of the story. He also mentions nine battles, but, 
in enumerating them, gives ten names, beginning his list also with 
Corpar, which may be an additional reason for regarding that name 
as descriptive only and not topographical. He follows the same order 
in the remaining names, save that he introduces after Crnni, which he 
makes Cime, or Cingi, the additional name of Colom; gives Corde in 
the form Corte; for Larrand has Lundunn; and for Fornar, Fermer. 
There is a small place, Lunden, above Marschlins in the Landquart 
valley,” on the right bank of the Rhine opposite Ragatz. ornar and 
Fermer are names with which I am unacquainted. They may be 
corrupt forms of Ferner, ‘‘a glacier,’ of frequent occurrence in the 
Tyrol, but not now, so far as I know, surviving west of the Inn. 
The Cinni of the gloss-writer seems to offer itself more feasibly 
for purposes of comparison, in the form Cinge given to it by Mac 
Firbis. As regards Cinge and the Colom of the same writer, reference 
may be made to a class of monosyllabic names of places ending in s, 
contracted from older forms, characteristic of the whole of the Alpine 
region, such as Prims (Prima), Worms (Bormium), Stelfs (Stelbium), 
Cles (Clusium), Linz (Lindum), &c. Whether Conge and Colom 
may not have their representatives in the present Wangs and Flums* 
I do not venture to affirm or deny. It seems difficult, in presence 
of so considerable a number of agreements between the Irish lists 
and the existing local nomenclature, to doubt that a tradition of 
Dathi having penetrated as far as the neighbourhood of Ragatz, and 
of his followers, after his death, having made their retreat by way 
26 (De l’Isle, Charte de la Suisse, Paris, 1715). Plantain, in his Helvetia, Leyden, 
1627, 16™°, p. 300, makes Wallenstadt quasi Italorwm Oppidum, as we should say 
in this country, Gaulstown, which is also the opinion of Guillimann and Stumpf.
