I would remark on the explanation given by Rudder, that the _Iglea_ of Asser is supposed by Camden, Gibson, Gough, and Sir Richard Colt Hoare to be _Clayhill_, eastward of Warminster; and _Ethandun_ to be _Edington_, about three miles eastward of Westbury, both in Wilts. Asser says that, "in the same year," the year of the battle, "the army of the pagans, departing from Chippenham, as had been promised, went to _Cirencester_, where they remained one year." On the signal defeat of Guthrum, he gave hostages to Alfred; and it is probable that, if any treaty was made between them, it was made immediately after the battle; and not that Alfred came from his fortress of _AEthelingay_ to meet Guthrum at Cirencester, where his army lay after leaving Chippenham. If the treaty was made soon after the battle, it might have been at Alfred's Hall near Cirencester, especially if _Hampton_ (Minchinhampton in Gloucestershire), which is only six miles from Oakley Wood, be the real site of the great and important battle, as was, a few years since, very plausibly argued by Mr. John Marks Moffatt, in a paper inserted, with the signature "J. M. M.," in Brayley's _Graphic and Historical Illustrator_, p. 106. _et seq._, 1834. The mention of Rudder's History brings to my mind an inscription over the door of Westbury Court, which I noticed when a boy at school, in the village of Westbury in this county. This mansion was taken down during the minority of Maynard Colchester, Esq., the present owner of the estate. Rudder, in his account of that parish, has preserved the inscription-- "D. O. M. N. M. M. H. E. P. N. C." He reads the first three letters "Deo Optimo Maximo," and says the subsequent line contains the initials of the following hexameter: "Nunc mea, mox hujus, et postea nescio cujus," {130} alluding to the successive descent of property from one generation to another. Perhaps one of your readers may be enabled to tell me whether the above line be original, or copied, and from whom. P. H. FISHER. Stroud. The agreement referred to is no other than the famous treaty of peace between Alfred and Guthrun, whose name, by the substitution of an initial "L." for a "G.," among various other inaccuracies for which your correspondent is perhaps not responsible, has been disguised under the form of "Lvthrvnvs." The inscription itself forms the commencement of the treaty, which is stated, in Turner's _Anglo-Saxons_, book iv. ch. v., to be still extant. It is translated as follows, in Lambard's [Greek: Archaionomia], p. 36.:-- "Foedus quod Aluredus & Gythrunus reges ex sapientum Anglorum, atque eorum omnium qui orientalem incolebant Angliam consulto ferierunt, in quod praeterea singuli non solum de se ipsis, verum etiam de natis suis, ac nondum in lucem editis (quotquot saltem misericordiae divinae aut regiae velint esse participes), jurarunt.
