ef Septimlus Scv;rns, when Laterams and Rufimts were' 
Confuls, A. D^ !Q7. Eui: after 1 had review’d ihe LeC' 
lers ac the end of the fecond Infcripcion, which are plain- 
jy tranftribed PR. CoH. i. L. GOR- I could read them 
no otherw ife than Trxficfo Cohorth pr'mu L^gionh Gordid- 
7i£. Gordian III. was fo beloved of the Soldiery, that fevc- 
ral Legions complimented him by honouring themfelves 
with his Name, as the ^ Legio tertia linlica, w'hich took 
the Addition of Gordiana ; and the ^ Legio decima ge- 
mina, and ^ Decima terliA gemina^\<\ both give themfelves 
the fame Appellation. But which of the Legions quar- 
tered in this Ifland ib filled itfelf is not determin’d by 
this Infcription or any other that I know of. Howe-' 
ver, - as the Legio fexta ViBrix was all along quarter’d 
in the Northern parts of this Kingdom (" as i obfer- 
ved before) where thefe Infcriprions were ereefted, I 
make no doubt but it was that which call’d it felf Got- 
diana^ tho’ the numeral Diftineftion of Vi is omitted, 
only perhaps for want of Room on the Stone. We find 
by feveral inferiptions in Carnkn, that there was an Ah 
in thofe Parts which prided it felf upon its Valourj and' 
was therefore call’d ihQAla.Augujta; of the many Me- 
morials it has left us of its Title, I lhall only mention 
^ one round ac Old Carlijle, and which is the ancientefl 
of them all, by any certainty of Date.
