This riuer (which Ptolomie calleth Toesobius, as I take it) after the
deriuation thereof from the head, passeth on the west side by
Spittieuan and Tiherio, beneath which it taketh in a streame comming
from the east out of Denbighshire, deriued from thrée heads, and of
the greatest called Nag. Soone after also another, and then the third,
which commeth in from the west by Lanpen Mawr: next of all the Leder
on the same side, which commeth by Dolathelan castell: and aboue that
from a Lin of the same denomination. Beneath this and selfe hand lieth
[Sidenote: Ligow.]
likewise the Ligow or Ligwie, procéeding from two lakes, that is, the
Mumber and the Ligow. On the right hand as we still descend, is the
Coid, then the Glin, & a little lower we méet with the Lin Gerioneth:
and after we be past another on the right side, we come to the
Perloid, which commeth out of Lin Cowlid, to the Ygan, to the Idulin,
to the castell Water on the left, & then to the Melandider on the
right, without the sight of anie other, till we come almost to
Conweie, where we find a notched streame comming from by west, and
called Guffen or Gyffin into the same by one chanell on the northeast
side of the towne, beneath Guffin or Gyffin, and ouer against
Lansanfraid in Denbighshire; so farre as I now remember. Some part of
Carnaruonshire stretcheth also beyond Aber Conweie, or the fall of
[Sidenote: Ormeshed.]
Conweie, & it is called Ormeshed point, wherein also is a rill, whose
fall into the sea is betwéene Penrin and Landright. And thus we haue
made an end of the chéefe waters which are to be found in this
countie.
