whoever confiders the common Forms of fuch votive 
Infcriptions, will readily fupply the Word CAVSA

Had this Infcription been fooner difeovered, it would 
have faved our Antiquaries much Trouble in fixing

circa Ciceftriam , olim Caer Cei, longe infra hanc 
urbem tenuerunt ; & errant , qui credunt Vindonim
