XIV. Observations on three Roman Sepulchral Inscriptions found at Watermore, near Cirencester, in Gloucestershire, in 1835 and 1836. By Dr. Conrad Leemans, First Conservator of the Museum of Antiquities at Leyden
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2012
Extract
Among the Roman antiquities which have been discovered during the last two years in Great Britain, three sepulchral monuments found at Watermore, about half a mile on the south side of Cirencester, merit especially the attention of the Antiquaries, both on account of the Inscriptions which they present, and the locality where they were discovered.

page 216 note e In the wall of a Moorish castle, Alcasaba, at Malaga in Spain, there is an inscription, L(ucio) Valerio, L(ucii) F(ilio) ovir(iti) Procvlo. Praefecto. Cohort, IIII. Thracvm. Syriacae (Muratori, op. cit. MLVI. 4; Orell. vol. ii. n. 5040). This Valerius Proculus is probably the same who erected a monument to his brother at Palaestrina. See Gruter, DLXV. 2; c(ajo) Valerio. L(ucii) F(ilio). Ovir(iti) Florino. Praef(ecto) Coh(ortis) II. Thrac(um). Svriacae. Trib(uno). Mil (itari). Leg(ionis) VII. Clavd(iae). Piae.Fid(elis) Fratri. Opt(imo) B(ene) M(erenti) Procvlvs. These second and fourth Thracian cohorts had the surname of Syriaca, because they were stationed in that country. In the same manner, in an inscription of Gruter's, p. CCCCLXXXII. 8, the second cohort of the Gauls (Coh. II. Gallorvm.) is surnamed Macedonica, to distinguish it from the Coh. ii. Gallorum eauitata, which was stationed in Britain. See the Inscriptions in Horsley's, Britannia Romana, p. 275.Google Scholar Cumberl. n. LII. & praef. p. xx. Cumberl. n. LII. a.
