t Scottish Myths, p. 48.
307 OUR ANCESTORS name derived from Latin miles, a soldier. If the Fir Bolg (Sacae, p. 265) are, as we suppose, mythical, so far as Ireland is concerned, and we identify them with the builders of a partition wall, we find a distinct hint of the source of the tradition of origin when they are credited with being first to divide Ireland into its pri- maryprovinces, fixing the centre of Ireland at the pil- lar stone of Uisneach (uisge, " water" ; *uisgenach, the " watermen...," invaders by sea).
We may point out here that the name Franks as ap- plied to the piratical hordes, subsequently allied with the Saxons, are believed to have derived their name irom franca, a species of javelin. Sallustius Lucullus may have adopted this, franca for some of his troops, and they doubtless described it as Lucullian not necessar- ily because he invented it, but as its introducer. Com- paring the name Frank with that of Saxon, secg is Saxon for a " sword" ; and these two facts lead to the conclusion that the Frank and the Saxon owe their names to using a special equipment, and not from identity of language or locality of origin — the Frank being a spearman, the Saxon a swordsman.
