2 It is said to have been found in Kingscote parish, four miles west-north-west of Tetbury, and by 1795 it was built into the barn of Calcot Farm, Newington Bagpath. To prevent further weathering Mr. A. D. Passmore, while replacing it by a replica, added the original to his collection and in 1955 presented it to the Ashmolean Museum, where it remains.

7 The tower lies in the basement of Messrs. Charles Hart's shop at the junction of Market Street with Feasegate. Mr. I. M. Stead, who took charge of the excavation for H.M. Ministry of Works, kindly sent details.
8 Found with other burials, of which one was in an uninscribed leaden coffin. Mr. H. G. Ramm kindly sent full details. The coffin is now in the Yorkshire Museum; Mr. G. F. Willmot kindly supplied a photograph. At the right-hand end of the lid the intact portion at the back was deleted on the negative.
9 CIL VII, 246, Yorkshire Museum Cat. no. 41.
10 Mr. J. Brown has presented the coffin to the Yorkshire Museum, York. Mr. L. P. Wenham kindly sent full details and, aided by Professor E. Birley, a reading. Mr. H. G. Ramm, on request, kindly provided a squeeze. No other Roman find is known from this vicinity. While few bones could be recovered from the coffin, there were parts of four thigh bones which seemed to be too large to be female. If this estimate proves to be correct it shows that, as an interment for two men, this was secondary, and this is supported by the concealment in the ground of the primary text.
11 The mason has failed to differentiate the letters M and A. For the cognomen Wenham reads 
; from the squeeze it seems to be MAMMIOLAE, a diminutive formed from the well-attested nomen Mammius.

13 CW2 XXX (1930), 106Google Scholar. After checking the original stone in the British Museum, in l. 7 the present writer accepts SVRINO; the tail of the letter R is present, though damaged. Collingwood's block for the Roman Inscriptions of Britain shows this damaged tail, but when he made a similar block for CW his addition of much shading eliminated it.
14 Professor E. Birley pointed out that Cox Magna Britannia, Cumberland (1720), 384, recorded this altar; see CW2 LVI (1956)Google Scholar, forthcoming.

21 Professor E. Birley kindly suggested c(ohortis) I pr(aetoriae). C as the abbreviation of c(ohors) occurs on CIL VII, 302. For evocatus cohortis in the third century see CIL X, 538 (Salernum), CIL V, 543 (Tergeste), Mommsen EE V, p. 147. The title Maximiniana was applied to the barracks of the equites singulares (CIL XVI, no. 146) in A.D. 237, and to legio III Augusta (ILS 4194) and to a cohors Maurorum (ILS 2552); this is its sole occurrence in Britain. It dates the stone to A.D. 235–8.
22 The map reference is NT/027827. The stone is now in the National Museum of Antiquities, Edinburgh. Mr. R. B. K. Stevenson kindly sent details, and Dr. K. A. Steer sent a photograph and answered inquiries.

24 Mr. H. Price, one of the earlier finders of the stone, saved it from destruction. When informed of it by Mr. A. Rees, Mr. T. Pennant Williams borrowed it for temporary study and kindly supplied full details, photographs, and a squeeze. Mr. G. Webster kindly sent notification and recognized it as a milestone of Severus Alexander.

may now be conjectured from the reading N.VMNC of ‘Mr. Davies of Bangor’ (as R. Fenton recorded in his ‘Tours in Wales (1804–13)’, published as Cambrian Arch. Assoc. suppl. vol. (1917), p. 215).
26 Mr. D. A. Thompson found the first pig in ploughing and with Mr. H. W. W. Ashworth and Professor L. S. Palmer excavated the other three. The pigs are now on loan in Wells Museum. The site (grid ref. ST 576514) lies about 1,200 yards north of the cross-roads at Green Ore formed by the Bristol-Wells road and the Roman road which runs south-eastward from Charterhouse-on-Mendip; it is about 700 yards north-east of this Roman road. Despite the absence of habitation-material, many sherds have been found in this field; part of a bowl found in the pit has been dated to the period A.D. 60–80, and other sherds assigned to the third century. Grateful acknowledgments are due to Professor L. S. Palmer for the loan of his report, to Professor I. A. Richmond for taking measurements and making squeezes, and to Mr. H. E. Balch and Mr. G. Webster.

28 Dessau ILS gives ten examples of this name in one or other of its spellings; the feminine name Trifosa at Bath (CIL VII, 53), presumably a variant of the Greek Tryphosa, supports Trifo as a variant of Trypho.
29 Triferna (CIL XV, 2467), Trifaustus (CIL XIII, 2830), Trifolius (P-W, s.v. ‘Trifolius’), Trypherus (CIL VI, 8588, ILS 1463; also two instances on Greek inscriptions).
30 On the pig of A.D. 60 from Stockbridge (CIL VII 1203, with Webster Flints. Hist. Soc. Publ. XIII (1952–3), 5). He reappears as the main text moulded on a pig found at Carmel, Flints. (JRS XLI (1952), 142Google Scholar, Webster l.c.).

33 CIL VII, 1203, EE VII, 1120. When reweighed in 1952, it weighed 166 lb. or 230 librae. The value of the libra is here taken to be 11·55 oz. (avoirdupois).
34 PSA2 XXXI (1918), 37Google Scholar. The weight of the heavier pig recorded in 1918 as 178 lb. proved to be 174 lb. (or 241 librae) when weighed by the present writer in 1951. The incuse numbers are IIVI, presumably a mistake for VIII. The lighter pig, now lost, was stamped VIII and is recorded as having weighed 166 lb. (or 230 librae).
