qu<e in Belgarum territorio f Her it, non Gallrcorum, fed 
Britannicorum. 
•X. Ad bonorem J'ulij Vitalis faciunt, qu&deeo in hoc

To this Explication of Julius Vitalis his Epitaph , the 
fame learned Gentleman adds two other Infcriptions , one 
found not long fince at Fozzuoli, the other at Bai<e, 
with Explications of them. 
After a Letter of Compliment, to Dr. Nicholas , late 
Warden of Winehefier College , the Editor produces his 
Commentary on Julius Vitalis his Epitaph. They are both 
divided into Sidions, in the following Order. 
Sea. I. I V L I V S. VITALIS. 
Thefe Names are enquired into, and Inftances given 
of many Perfons having this Sirname 5 and of thofe fome 
of Quality, now living in Italy, 
Seft. II. FABRICiESIS. 
It is here obferved, that the Romans , for the fake of 
eafy Pronunciation, ufed fometimes to interpofe an I, 
and omit N. That they, being great Matters of the 
Art Military, had duum generum Officinas Armorum, qua - 
rum h& Legionaria , ill & Opidana erant. The former came 
at laft to be call’d Fabric a, as appears from Hyginus , al- 
lowing, in every Camp for three Regions, room for a 
Fabrica . (Vide Antiq. Rom. a Cl. Grsevio edit. Vol. X.) 
From Fabrica comes Fabricenfes , which is read in the 
Theodojian Code, in a Law made Leontio & Sallnfio 
Coff. (A. D. 344.) And beeaufe the Author has not met 
with this Word earlier than this Year, He does not place 
J. Vitalis much above this time.
