Hamond until this day. Now this has been set down as 
happening at " Suth-ham-ton," and "Southampton" being 
clearly Saxon, has flung discredit on the whole story. But 
if we take the ordnance map of Norfolk (sheet 68), off the 
coast there we find a bank, near Hasbrough sands, marked 
as " Hammond's Knoll." Thus Grafton's Chronicle (part 7, 
p. 45) describes Arviragus, the youngest son of Kymbelin : 
" This man did well and knightly behave himself against 
the Romaines, and slue the afore named Hamo near unto a 
hauen or part of the sea ; and when he was slayne he threw 
him gobbet meale into the same sea, and for this cause that 
hauen was long time after called Hamo Hauen, which is at 
this day called Suthhampton." Geoffrey, also : " There was 
at the same place a convenient haven for ships, and some 
merchant ships at anchor, and just as Hamo was attempting 
to get on board them, Arviragus came upon him unawares, 
and forthwith killed him; and ever since the haven has been 
called Hamon's port;" so that the story which has been 
thought to bring discredit upon British historians, proves at 
once their veracity and my theory to be right, which brings 
Claudius from east to west. I think this is a strong unde- 
signed evidence as to the whereabouts of his landing ; in" 
that case he might have marched to the Brigantes and 
Camulodunum, received the submission of the people, and, 
if his fleet coasted north with him (as was the case after- 
wards with Agricola), he might have sailed back from the 
Humber mouth to Gessoriacum within sixteen days.* 
Ptolemy places " Ocelum " at Spurn Head ; and Ocelum means 
" principal passage." Hector Boece tells us that he did sail 
from that part of the coast. 
* " Claudius. He was the only one, either before or after Julius Cassar, who 
dared to laud upon the island ; yet within a few days, without any fight or blood- 
shed, tho greatest part of the island was surrendered into his hands." — Bede t 
b. i, c. 3.
