There is no Difficulty butrin the Word TRIPVTIEN, 
and that will prefently vanifh if you infert the Letter N. 
and read it TRIPVNT, /. e. Trifontienus or Trifontienjis, 
the Mutation of the O and V being fo frequent, that 
no body is ignorant of it. This will bring you to TVi- 
fontium ‘ or Dorvhridge in Morthamptonjhire-^ tho’ that ex- 
cellent Antiquary Dr. Battdy % in his Amicjuitates Ru-

for thefe Repairs, was M^cilius Fufcus : As M^cilius is a 
Diminutive of M^cius, it is not unlikely that he was 
the Son of Maicim Fufcus, who was Conful with Turft- 
lius Dexter, A. D. 225 in the Reign of Alexander Seve»
