page 132 note 66 Similar implements, but of different proportions, found in Early Iron Age contexts at Bigbury Hill and Glastonbury have been tentatively claimed as primitive plough-coulters (Payne, F. G., Arch. Journ. CIV, 1947, 92 f.Google Scholar); but in the Wroxeter example the short shaft, the strongly curved blade with blunt toe and the Roman date make this explanation hardly probable. It is more likely to be a bill-hook, used for splitting timber, or for grafting, or even possibly for butchery.

page 160 note 1 When measurements are quoted the width precedes the height.

page 160 note 2 Found by Mr. F. Curtis at the point TL 687888. Examined by the present writer.

page 160 note 3 Found and retained by Mr. R. W. P. Cockerton, who sent photographs, squeezes and details. On the top there is a wedge-shaped slot, ⅜ in. deep and 2 in. wide as it approaches the centre of the stone. Behind it lies a round socket, 1 in. in diam., 1¼ in. deep. Mr. Cockerton considers that the stone was broken near its centre, that the pattern of the slot and socket was repeated in reverse and at the back had a corresponding slot with two further sockets to balance it and secure the statue which was placed upon it.

page 160 note 4 Mr. G. C. Boon sent details and a drawing; the stone is in the Segontium Museum. The shape of the S and the placing of the letters on the stone suggest that O formed the end of a word.

page 160 note 5 Mr. A. M. Mann, Manager of the Knitwear Factory at Wanlass Howe, in conjunction with Mr. P. A. Dover, explored the site. Mr. Dover and Mr. B. L. Thompson sent details and photographs from which Professor E. Birley worked out and in large part annotated the interpretation adopted here.

page 160 note 6 Birley suggests the expansion B(onis), although there seems to be no parallel for this on a tombstone. Dessau (ILS 4477) tentatively expands a religious dedication as D(is) B(onis) s(acrum). An inscription found near Theveste (CIL VIII, 2185) says parentes Manes estote boni. Festus (Müller ed., p. 146) says manuos … Stilo significare ait bonos, ut inferi di Manes pro boni dicantur. Eme(ritus) ex ordi(nato) means ‘retired centurion’, for ordinatus was used for ‘centurion’ in the third and fourth centuries. The actarius was ‘record-clerk’ in the regimental office. For the spelling visit for visit see ILS 2147 and Diehl, Inscriptiones Latinae Christinae veteres iii, p. 609, who gives references to more than twenty similar instances. In 1. 7 the fourth letter of INTE has a short lower bar and might be read as F. But as the mason has omitted the consonant normally used to conclude words or their abbreviations, ordi(nato), visi(t), anni(s), hosti(bus), it seems more likely that the abbreviation inte(rfectus) has been used rather than the contraction int(er)f(ectus).

page 160 note 7 Mr. H. B. Stout, A.R.I.B.A., sent details, squeezes and a photograph. For altar-shaped tombstones see CIL VII, 53 (Bath); EE IX, 1103 (Chester); CIL VII, 588, with fig. in Bruce, Lap. Sept., 117 (Chesters). Cianus is used for ‘inhabitant of Cius’ by Livy XXXIII, 30, 4. The cognomen Ciantull[o] occurs in CIL III, 5191. Although the nomen Fonteius is well-attested, there seems to be no example of Fontius or Fontia.

The upper margin was abraded into five curved depressions; this suggests that in its first stage of re-use the slab was part of the side of a water-tank (for such examples at Corbridge see Knowles, , Arch. Ael.3 IV, 1908, 275Google Scholar, fig. 12).

page 161 note 10 Found by Mr. W. Dodds and now in Ebchester Church-porch, where the present writer drew it. Mr. A. Reed, through Professor E. Birley, provided details.

For the century of Cocceius Regulus see JRS XLII (1952), 104, found 32 ft. E of Turret 48a, and EE VII, 1075, found in the garden-wall of Willowford Farm, which lies just W of Turret 486.

page 161 note 15 Miss A. S. Robertson, on behalf of the Scottish School of Field Studies, sent details and photographs and made the fragment available for study. In 1.2 the vertical stroke belonged to some letter other than T.

page 162 note 16 Major S. P. H. Simonds presented it to the Museum. The late Professor D. Atkinson took full notes and squeezes; these, with a photograph supplied by the Museum, were made available by Professor I.A. Richmond to the present writer, who has drawn the texts. The object was found in field III, just SW of the circular plantation, no. 42. There are more impurities than usual in the texture of the pig. The front of it has been scored by the plough.

page 162 note 17 The stamp of this ‘company’ occurs as SOC NO‥ and SOC on the two pigs from the Mendips found at Bitterne (see Proc. Soc. Ant. 2 XXXI (1918), 37, and MS notes by R. G. Collingwood). Here, however, there is no trace of an A ligatured to or of a terminal C. The meaning of remains obscure.

The date for the concealment of this treasure must be later than A.D. 353. One implement of similar shape has a in open work, while a second is uninscribed. The purpose of these spiked sticks was presumably ‘for eating delicate foods such as snails or fish’.
