page 120 note ‡ As I have said elsewhere, I doubt if the names in the Notitia (l.e.) which follow after Amboglanna are the names of the stations on the wall west from Birdoswald. Certainly this Tunnocelum seems not to have been per lincam valli. The sequence of names in the list is Aballaba, Congavata, Axelodunum, Gabrosentum, Glannibanta, Alione, Bremetenacum: Aballaba, and Axelodunum were at Maryport and Papcastle, Bremeteuacum was at Ribchester, and Tunnocelum would naturally be one of the not few intervening forts.

page 126 note † DrRoyle, (An Essay on the Antiquity of Hindoo Medicine, London, 1837, p. 103)Google Scholar hints at the connection of the terms ‘Beli oculus’ and ‘billi ke ankh,’ as if ‘Beli oculus’ (which according to Mr. King was an eye-agate) were possibly a Latin adaptation of the Indian name. As Sir Henry Yule and Dr. Burnell (A. Glossary of Anglo-Indian Colloquial Words and Phrases, 1886, p. 134) say, this may be only a coincidence, though if not a coincidence it might point to the Indian ‘billi ke ankh’ being the same stone ns Pliny's ‘Beli oculus,’ which Mr. King thinks was an eye-ngate. ‘Billi ke ankh’ may, however, be merely a translation of the European term ‘cat's-eye.’
