Having settled this point so as to pre-. 
clude all dispute on the subject, I will 
now follow the Iter and Commentary. 
The site of Ereter is not doubted. 
(The road from Honiton is said “to be 
visibly pointing to Exeter,-as well as 
from Exeter to Totnes.”+ I have already 
described the. direct eld road from Mo- 
ridenum to Exeter, which is not the com- 
mon road trom Lfoniton; I will not say 
that another might not be used from 
Hembury Fort to Exeter. 
“ Durio Amne,’ 
Dart.” Totnes, with no very ancient 
visible remains, may have been the 
place supposed in the Comment; but 
we have on the border of the Dart, in 
Hole parish, near Ashburton, another 
Hembury fort, with remains which may 
pont out a station. : - 
famara@ is on the Tamer;° authors 
suppose at Tumerton Fotict. 
’ Voiuba comes next, and is stated to 
be ‘¢on the Fawy.” But Fawy implies 
a small stream, from its diminutive end- 
tug in ys; and Volin Voluba, Foluba, or 
Faluba, implies, I shall prove, Sireum. 
The ending of this last word relates to 
the stream, or is term for land. - If 
it relate to the stream, it must be an 
augment, and the same as Ude in the 
Danou; or Danwbe; but this stream can- 
not be dignified by the adjective Great, 
nor can it be diminished by Ube, into 
the term little, which we find in the 
Fawy. It will therefore be the Fol 
Fel, or Fal, cr the Stream: and Uba 
will be derived from A, rising ground or 
hii, pronounced Au, as Abury is also 
written Aubury. Au is also changed to 
4, and this to Ab in various instances: 
and this further to Ub or Up, as xt 
Ubley, called also Upton. 1 might carry 
sach changes much further, and bring 
appropriate authorities; but these are 
enough for this letter. Uda was there~ 
fore the Hilt on the Fal or Siream, and 
not on the Fawy or little Stream. 
“Cenia comes next in the Itinerary, 
und is stated to be on the Fal: and here~ 
ail our authors have shewn their great 
inattention, in supposing that this word 
means a Mouth, ora Stream. From An

writer I have commented upon than to 
others; for he has followed our authori-= 
ties: 
labour inigiving us this new edition; and 
again recommend this valuable remain of 
our countryman to all lovers of our his- 
tery. Further, as the ending of Voluba 
is the same as ‘ica BIe, or Rutupie, I. 
will beg leave to speak of this last word, 
of ae so much has been written eer 
out giving apy satisfaction. 
Camden derives Rutupie from Rhyd- 
tufith, a sandy ford; and in this Somner 
agrees with him. Batiely first says, that 
our Rutupie was always named Rutubé 
Portus “by Orosius and Bede; and as 
there was a Ratubi Portus in Gaul, he 
supposes ours derived from it: but here 
he sons and by not enquiring from 
whence this last was derived, 
plained nothing by it. He next states, 
that the name came from Rutubus, a 
tyratit who held a hill on the Seine; 
but neither in this dees he shew from - 
whence this Ratubus had his name. _He 
then states, “that. Thanet was called 
by the Britons Inis Ruhin, or Ruithina: 
KAuo, in their ls aguage, he says, signifies 
“to roar,” which Camden understands of 
the porpusses on the coast; but be rather 
applics it to the waves which break on 
the shore. ‘¢If (says he) we compound 
the word Rhuo with tywyn, which sig- 
niles ‘ashore, it gives a derivation of 
the name exactly suitable to the descrip- 
tion of Lucan, lib. vi.” >I shall add, 
he continues, “the opinion of an unpub-» 
lished au thor, namely, that the Rutupian 
coast is so calicd from Rupes a rock; or: 
from Rutini, a people of Gaul, now 
Bolozne;” which affinity of the’ Gaelic 
Ruitni and our Ruputini, seems to be: 
confirmed by Mallebranche, who says of 
the reer “Call that part of the coast 
wiuch lies between Calais and Dunkirk,’ 
our seamen even now call Ruthen. Add.
