Ox_pEN—On the Geography of Ros Ailithir. 249 
LXVII. 
The island of Britain, victorious land ;* the Island of Eriu at its north-west, 
In the ocean it extends south-west, between Hispania and Gallia. 
LXVIII. 
Land pleasant, joyous, full of wealth; land where the sons of Milesius are known ; 
Land of glorious branching stems ; land the most fruitful that is known. 
* Land : brug (bruig, anciently mruig), which occurs also in xxyvi., appears to be 
akin to the German mark. In the Aremorican dialect, where it takes the form 70, 
it is found applied to England, as here: bro-Zaos, i.e. Saxon land. Zimmer Kelt- 
ische Studien, 8.118. This stanza is wanting in the Oxford ms.
