page 221 note 4 Excavated by Dr. N. E. France and Miss B. M. Gobel. Professor S. S. Frere gave details and made the stone available. For the site see Wheeler, , Antiq. Jour, VIII (1928), 300CrossRefGoogle Scholar; JRS LIII (1963), 138.
page 221 note 5 Found at N. end of field no. 520, where pottery of second to third century has been found (grid ref. TF 005669). Now in Lincoln City and County Museum. Mr. F. T. Baker and Mr. J. B. Whitwell sent full details, a photograph and a squeeze.
page 221 note 6 e.g. ILS 2321 (Cales), 7468 (Rome), 8175 (Capua), 8176 (Rome); in initials 8001 and 8411 (Capua). Praedis for praediis occurs in ILS 8097 and on tile-stamps, ILS 866Ie, 8663.
page 221 note 7 Found in laying an electric cable at Green Bank, Eaton Road, Handbridge (grid ref. SJ 409645), on the line of the Roman road. Another slate tablet was found in 1933 slightly N. of the present find (JRS XXIV (1934), 219 pl. XXIV; Williams, , Chester Arch. J.2 XXX (1933), 56Google Scholar, pl. XXIII; Grosvenor Museum Catalogue (1955), no. 54a, fig. 2). Mr. D. F. Petch sent details and a photograph and reported that after D in l. I there is ‘the hint of a bottom bar of the E’ in DEIOT.
The post in LEG XXII DEIOT must precede this legion's disappearance, datable to the period A.D. 119–161. After allowance has been made for tenure of the post of praef. legionis at Chester the latest date for this text will be about A.D. 170.
page 221 note 8 Mrs. B. Wood, of Thorner, detected the altar in the beck and had it rescued. Mr. H. G. Ramm sent full details and squeezes, and the Yorkshire Museum provided photographs; the present writer has examined it.
The altar was found at grid ref. point SE 3880 4178, 2 miles SSW. of the Roman villa at Dalton Parlours, Collingham. The mouldings of the capital are in fair condition; the lettering was irregular and is now very weathered. The stone has been broken horizontally below 1. 2 in recent times, presumably when it was ploughed up. The beck at this point has a copse on the S. bank (in Thorner parish), and on the N. (in Scarcroft parish) a ploughed field where part of a second-century Roman bowl, the upper half of a beehive quern and a moulded limestone fragment have been found. It seems likely that the altar was found in ploughing and was at first shifted to the field hedge; from here it could have rolled down the slope into the beck. The left margin of the die had been worn down by the sharpening of implements, probably in Roman times.
For Deo Mapono et N. Aug. (“near Brampton’) see RIB 2063 (CIL VII 332, EE IX, p. 566); Maponus is sometimes equated with Apollo. For Deo Breganti et N. Aug. (Slack) see RIB 623 (EE VII 920); see also (Greetland) RIB 627 (CIL VII 200).
page 222 note 9 The work was directed by Miss D. Charlesworth, who lent the fragments to the present writer for study and photography. His full discussion, with restoration-drawing, in Cumb. and West. A.A.S.T. 2 LXV (1965), 169–175, has here been summarised. Fourteen fragments were found in an area 7 to 12 ft. SE. of the N. termination of the fort-wall. Eleven were inscribed, one came from a bevelled edge, and two carried neither text nor prepared surface or edge. No fragment still retained any mason's dressing at the back or exceeded I in. in thickness, but the slab had probably been 2 to 3 in. thick before it was broken up for reuse.
The lettering is excellent and shows little weathering. The guide-lines can still be seen in the spaces between the letters, and the latter are boldly rendered to override these lines. The edges are bevelled, and the two lower angles have been chamfered away, and the guide-line to mark the cut is preserved in the lower right-hand corner. The purpose for this was presumably to fit the slab into the spandrel between the two arches. A single guide-line, ⅖ in. below 1. 6, probably indicates that a short word, presumably FECIT, in full or abbreviated form, added a brief 1. 7.
page 222 note 10 In Britain the spelling Delmatarum is more frequent than Dalmatarum, e.g. Roman Inscriptions of Britain 810 (CIL VII, 367), RIB 850 (CIL VII, 400) and on diplomas CIL XVI, 69 (JRS XX (1930) 17, 18), CIL XVI, 48 (CIL VII, 1193). For a Fourth Cohort of Delmatians stationed in Britain under Trajan and Hadrian see the diplomas of A.D. 103 and 122 (CIL XVI, 48, 69).
page 222 note 11 Found by Miss D. Charlesworth during the construction of a car-park for the Ministry of Public Work and Buildings. The reddish colour of the stone seems natural and not the result of burning.
page 222 note 12 Mr. C. Anderson provided details and photographs and Professor E. Birley details of the text. Found about 400 yds. ESE. of SE. angle of the fort, grid ref. NY 669655. Kept by Major J. E. Joicey, M.C., at Blenkinsopp Hall, Haltwhistle, Northd., where he made it available to the present writer for study. The right margin is intact. Most of the top, including the head, and about 2 in. along the left margin, and the lower left-hand corner had broken away. For Mamma, put in the nominative instead of dative case, see CIL XIII, 5783. Du(v)ianus is presumably derived from the ‘nomen’ Duvius, cf. Duvius Avitus, consul in A.D. 56.
The shortness of the tunic suggests that the figure is male. The dresses of women portrayed on the tombstones from Chester (e.g. Grosvenor Museum Catalogue (1955), nos. 119, 120) or from Carlisle (Catalogue … of Stones (1922), no. 88 with fig., no. 103 with pl.) usually reach the ankles. The dedicator seems to have had his own tombstone prepared during his lifetime, and ended by using it for his wife, who died early. The figure carries in the left hand a triangular purse, in the right an indistinct pendent object, which may be a garland. The figure has round the chest a girdle of which the two long ends are left hanging. These appear to be flanked by the lower ends of a wrap (cf. Grosvenor Museum, no. 120); both margins are visible on the figure's left side, but the outer margin is missing on the other side.
page 223 note 13 Found by Mr. J. D. Leach and Dr. J. Wilkes who cited it briefly in Discovery and Excavation (Scotland) 1964, 42. Now in Dundee City Museum, of which the Director and staff provided details, a squeeze and photographs. For full discussion, only summarized here, see R. P. Wright, PSAS XCVII, for publication in 1966. The material is Lower Old Red Sandstone. Traces of red paint are preserved in the letters M, P, E and S.
page 223 note 14 The size of the fortress, about 30 acres, shows that its legionary garrison will have been only a detachment. The emblems on the side panel mark the dedication as the work of LEG II AVGVSTA. Mr. R. E. Birley's work in 1961 and 1962 produced in the Headquarters Building many examples of a tile-stamp of LEG VI VICTRIX (see JRS LII (1962), 197, no. 37; LIII (1963), 164, no. 30). The interrelation of these two legionary detachments and perhaps of some other garrison must await further excavation.
page 223 note 15 The suggestion of et d(ominus) n(oster) was made by Sir Ian Richmond. The combination of the titles dominus noster imperator begins in the later second century, e.g. CIL VI, 2120 (ILS 8380) of A.D. 155; CIL VIII, 10570, col. 4 for Commodus; AE 1934, 280 for Severus and Clodius Albinus. The formula imperator dominus noster was far less frequent. It seems to begin under Septimius Severus, with Caracalla, in A.D. 197 (AE 1904, 75) and A.D. 202 (AE 1950, 237) and in A.D. 199–209 including Geta (AE 1938, 146). In A.D. 213 it was used in a date to cite Caracalla and his fellow-consul (CIL XIII, 7338, 8702). There seems to be no parallel for et connecting imperator with dominus. The greater precision may indicate that the formula had not yet become fully standardized.

page 223 note 17 Although Dio LXXVll, I, I and Herodian 111, 15, 6, IV, I condense the events, it is clear from coin issues that the campaign planned by Severus for 211 was carried into effect. For the Risingham dedication of A.D. 213 see RIB 1235 (CIL VII, 1002; EE IX, p. 612); Richmond, Northd. County History XV, 135, no. 19, with pl.
On the lower margin of the sculptured panel there are three letters 1¼ in. high, reading … P·F[ECIT (?). They form a minor, subsidiary inscription, perhaps recording the sculptor or date of his work.
page 224 note 18 Mr. R. Hogg sent details and Mr. A. Priestman, of Penrith, provided a photograph and squeeze. Found at grid ref. NY 538293. Now at Brougham Castle.

page 224 note 19 Sealed beneath road-metalling between two buildings which were probably workshops or storehouses. Mr. D. F. Petch sent the object for study. Most of the letters were sketched in lightly; then >CANDIDI|PISTOR was cut more deeply.
The retention of the first names without deletion shows that a second century, with one or perhaps two short names, was added at the same time. For a leaden die from Caerleon with the names of two centuries see JRS XXIII (1933), 213, fig. 18.
page 224 note 20 Grid ref. TQ 554674. Lieut.-Col. G. W. Meates submitted this item and nos. 25, 28a, 28b, and 44.
page 224 note 21 Found by Mr. B. W. Cunliffe in excavations for the Chichester Civic Society. The mould is different but the design is the same as the Colchester beaker, CIL VII, 1273; Kisa, , Glas 11, 687Google Scholar, Abb. 280. Dr. D. B. Harden provided detailed notes; examined by the present writer.
page 224 note 22 Sent by Mr. J. S. Wacher. It is not from the same mould as the examples from Great Chesterford (CIL VII, 1275, incorrectly given as AP), Corbridge (EE IX, 1301, two examples) or Welshpool (JRS L, 1960, 239).
page 224 note 23 Now in the British Museum; notified by Miss D. Charlesworth. Roach Smith, Catalogue of … London Antiquities, no. 225 (with no reading); Haverfield, , Arch. Jour. XLVII (1890), 237Google Scholar, no. 12, with partial reading. Sir Ian Richmond solved part of the reading here given.
page 224 note 24 Submitted by Miss D. Charlesworth for the Ministry of Public Building and Works. This seems to be unmatched in CIL XIII.

page 225 note 27 Submitted by Mr. P. Marsden for the Southwark Archaeological Excavation Committee. Now in Guildhall Museum.
page 225 note 28 Now in Guildhall Museum; submitted by Mr. P. Marsden for the City of London Excavation Group. At Huggin Hill, once named Huggin Lane, the site lies W. of the street and is marked as 164 on the RCHM Roman London map. The material which included this plaster and some flue-tiles contained early-second-century pottery and had been dumped on the ‘caldarium’ after disuse.

page 225 note 31 The letter L is preceded by a symbol resembling a reversed E. This may provisionally be interpreted as a devolved ansation.
page 225 note 32 The terminal G is followed by a device resembling a reversed E with the upper and lower bars splayed. To the present writer this seems to be a devolved ansation. Mr. G. C. Boon regards it as the letter E.

page 226 note 34 Sent with details by Professor W. F. Grimes.
page 226 note 35 For details see no. 13 (above). Four are preserved by Lieut.-Col. Meates, one is in Maidstone Museum, and five were too friable for preservation.
page 226 note 36 Found by Mr. O. Taplin. The tile found in 1879 in a Roman building within a mile of the Titsey villa and recorded as APENDNI or APENDINI may now be amended to this fuller reading. See EE VII, 1129; Leveson-Gower, , Proc. Soc. Ant. 2 VIII (1879), 214Google Scholar; Watkin, , Arch. Jour. XXXVII (1880), 154Google Scholar; Whimster, D. C., Surrey (1931), 153.Google Scholar
An amphora-stamp, CIL v, 8112, 51, of which four examples are recorded, abbreviates a ‘cognomen’ to otherwise PATENDINVS, or a name with the same first five letters, seems to be unmatched.
