vinces not mentioned by any other writers. And 
bcftdes, the form of this word appears analogous to

found not far from the place, whofe name it bears ; 
and which might be fituated among the Cateuchlani , 
as their territories are defcribed by Camden (a). 
But as I have never before fecn, nor heard of any 
thing fimilar to it, I would fubmit what is here 
offered to the judgement of the curious in thefe 
inquiries.
