As to Scs^enn Uairhe/yil, this has l>een recently identifiedwith the Esgeir Oervel of the Twrch Trwyth story (Oxford 135-6) by Prof. Meyer, in the Transactions of the Cymmrodorion Society,1S95-6, p. 73. CiJrM seems to mean the Cold-mouth, referring to somegap or gully where .1 cold wind usually blows : compare The Sloe, in the Isleof Man known in Manx as the Great Mouth of the ROMAN BRITAIN, loi Britain and with the Belgic coast, including the Menapianmother-state, Carausius was used from his boyhood to thesea. If, moreover, the colony was, as we have supposed,Belgic or Brythonic, he could presumably pass as a Brython,but the fact of his name being Goidelic argues his beingpartly of Goidelic descent: in other words, he would seemto have been favourably situated to become popular withboth Brythons and Goidels, and to make them considerhim one of themselves, whether in Britain or on the Con-tinent. During his time, at all events, we read of no diffi-culties with the tribes beyond the Roman Wall. The sameremark applies to the three years of Allectuss rule ; buthis name ^ points to the North of Britain, whence also histroops may have been largely drawn. No sooner, however,had Rome resumed possession of the province than thenorthern tribes began to be troubles
