« Te-ate, in the Sabine district, now Chieti ; 

 " Ti-cinum ; 



Ti-fernum, three as before described ; 

 3 Ti-ora Matiena, in the Sabine Hills, near the source of 

 the Velinus. 

 It would appear that this prefix was once Tegi or Tig (cog- 

 nate with Ttyos and Tectum) from combining the following with 

 the above : — 



Tegi-anum in Lucania, on the Tanager, which now, along 

 with its valley, is called Diano, an evident cor- 

 ruption of Tegianum, and closely allied to the 

 Tiano of the coins. 

 Tig-ulia in Liguria, now Tre-gosa, a word in which Tre- 

 has usurped the place of its synonym Tig or Ty, 

 and gwys that of ul. 

 Trev and Treva, pronounced Tre, plur. Trevi, under this com- 

 mon prefix of the Cumri, we have 



Treva in the Sabini, now Trevi ; 

 Trevia in Umbria, now Trevi ; 

 Treia in Picenum ; 

 1 Tre-bula, Balinea, in Campania ; 

 Tre-bula, Mutusca in the Sabini ; 



1 This word, compared with Re-ate, shows that the Te was a separable prefix ; 

 and the several coins bearing the inscription TIATI, proves that its primitive form 

 Avas Ti. 



2 Now Pavia, probably gave its name to the Ticinus river, the Tessino. 



3 The meaning of Ti-ora, " Ty. oera," is " coldest house," a fit name for its si- 

 tuation. 



4 These names, compared with Ves-bula, will shew that Tre is a separable pre- 

 fix, and if Lanzi (page 508, vol. ii.), is right in affirming, on the faith of inscrip- 

 tions, that the citizens of this town were called TREBALAces, as the Brutii are 

 called by Ennius Brutaces, it will necessarily follow that the name of the city was 

 originally Tre-bala (see Bala in the list of roots). The epithet Balinea, is confir- 

 mative of this explanation.
