[Footnote A: This is rather a trivial name; but the dialect has no other
distinctive appellation.]
[Footnote B: Tschudi, Rhæt. Descrip. p. 43, MERIN Topogr. Helvet. p.
64.]
[Footnote C: Sprecher, Simler, Tschudi, Scheuchzer. Campell's Chronicle
is looked upon as the most authentic and circumstantial; but there being
only a few manuscript copies of it extant in the hands of private
persons in the Grisons, I have not been able to avail myself of his
researches. Guller and Stumpfius might also have furnished some material
information; but neither of them have I had an opportunity of
inspecting.]
[Footnote D: Liv. lib. v. c. 34.]
[Footnote E: Other authors place the reign of this king 180 years
earlier.]
[Footnote F: Plin. lib. iii. c. 5. Justin. lib. xx. c. 5.]
[Footnote G: Cluver, Ital. Antiq. lib. i. c. 14.]
[Footnote H: A spurious derivation from the verb [Greek: leipo].]
[Footnote I: Probably by them pronounced _Tomiliasca_, the name it now
bears.]
[Footnote J: _Tusis_ (Tuscia) and in Italian _Tosana_, the principal
place; _Rhealta_ (Rhetia alta); _Rheambs_ (Rhetia ampla); _Rhazunz_
(Rhetia ima); and above twelve other castles, the remains of which are
now to be seen in the valley _Tomiliasca_.]
[Footnote K: In some communities there are fourteen jurors besides the
Landamman.]
[Footnote L: Serv. in Æneid. lib. viii. 65. lib. x. 202. Sprech. Pall.
Rhæt p. 9. Siml. Rep. Helv. p. 281. ed. 1735.]
[Footnote M: Liv. lib. v. c. 33.]
[Footnote N: Sprech. p. 214. Mer. l. c.]
[Footnote O: _En Code Ino_, perhaps the vulgar Roman phrase expressing
_In Capite Oeni_. There are other etymologies, but all equally
uncertain.]
[Footnote P: Sprech. p. 10.]
