ISO THE GENUINE HISTORY OF Walls, is even feebler and more trifling than the fecret one before. The names of Selgova? and Gadeni, k is faid, pro-ve the tribes to have been in a ftate of hoftility with the Ottadini and Brigantes. But why not with the Caledonians ? There is no niore reafon for that than this. And then the argument is not only repelled, but aftually changes frdes, and militates direftly againft its mailer. But I am tired with purfuing fuch impertl- nencies. And yet others prefent themfelves before us. Mr. Macpherfon is greatly miftaken both in his Geography and Etymology.—Selgovce, he fays, fignifies Hunters, and metapho- rically Pvobbers. But the metaphor is fuch as contradicts every idea of propriety. And it is fuch peculiarly, as no nation and age of Hunters could ever have tolerated. Selgovae appears from Ptolemy to be Elgovce with a Prefix, being written by him Selgovce in one place and Elgovce in another. And the root of the name is therefore to be fought in Elgovi-e, and is probably this. The jeftuary formed by the river Eden was pretty certainly denominated S, Alga, Av, or The Noble Water, as Ireland has been fome- times denominated Inis Alga in Irifh, and a Peninfula on the banks of the Loffie in Scotland feems to have been called Elgin formerly ', * So another penlnfijln, formed by the ilreams of the 6 The
THE BRITONS ASSERTED. 131 The name remains to this day in irs prefent appel- lation of the SOLWAY Frith, as the antient name of Conovius continues in that of rhe Conway at prefent. And the tribe, that inha- bited along the whole extended line of the jeftuary, was naturally denominated Fir-Elgovse or Fir-Selgov£B, Men, or the Men, of the Great Water. — Gadeni is alfo interpreted Robbers, and to be the fame word with the Iriili Gadechin, Robbers. The real word in Irifh, I believe, is not Gadechin, but Gaduighe a thief, and Gaduighen Thieves. And Gadeni plainly comes from Gadh or Cath a Fight, as Crutheni is de- rived from Cruth ; and, like Camulo-genus, the name of a Gallic Hero in Cdehv ', fignifics the Men of the Battle, or the Warriours. And the Gadeni are therefore denominated Gadeni, in a Roman-Britilh infcription difcovered in the North *.—Nor were the Gadeni bounded merely by the northern bank of the Tweed, or the Ottadini by the fouthern, as Mr. Macpherfon places them. The Gadeni ranged from the Wall to the North of Lanerk. And the Otta- dini, whom he fuppofes to lie all to the South of the Tweed, extended beyond it to the Friths 5. His great divifion of the North to Loffie and Spey, feems to have been called Inis, an ifland, having the two villages of Innes and Ince in it. * Caefar, p. 164. * Horfeley, N° 80.
