The late Dr. Jamieson remarks upon it in the same volume : " It seems evident that n is a combination of av, and — is the con- " traction for vm. Thus I read it as barbarous Latin for avitum " monomentum, signifying the monument or tomb belonging to an- " cestors. The characters seem pretty nearly to resemble the old " Teutonic as given by Astle, Tab. I. Page 64. The initial m in * Mo- " nomentum' has the precise form of that of the specimen of Roman " uncials which he gives from a most ancient... copy of the four Gospels " preserved in the Harleian Library (vide Tab. XL p. 84). This MS. " is, he says, with great reason asserted to have been written in Italy " above eleven hundred years ago. " It would be well to compare this writing with that on the early in- [ 43 ] scribed stones in Wales given in the " Archseologia Cambrensis, " third series, vol. Ii. Page 319, &c.
Plate XIV. Fig. 49.
