Now I will not attempt to determine what relation this kilt stands in to the kilts of the Highlands, whether the Gael borrowed it from the Briton, or the Briton from the Gael, or whether the dress was common to both at the time in which Dinogad lived; but thus much appears to be clear, that we here have a _kilt_, and that that kilt was striped, if not a _plaid_; and it only remains for us to determine the period at which Dinogad lived. Most persons are acquainted with the name of Brochmael, Prince of Powys, the British commander at the battle of Bangor in 613, on the occasion of the dispute between Augustine and the primitive British church; Dinogad stood to him in the following relation: BROCHMAEL | CYNAN GARWYN | +-----------+-----------+ | | SELYF OR SALOMON. DINOGAD. Of Dinogad himself there is but one fact on record, and that took place in 577. His brother Selyf fell at the battle of Bangor or Chester in 613. If we take these facts together, we may form a pretty accurate idea respecting the period at which he lived. Viewing this matter from a Cambrian standpoint, I feel myself warranted in hazarding the following remarks. In the lines of Aneurin, the thing selected for special notice is the excess of stripe; and therefore, whether it was the invention of Dinogad, or whether he borrowed the idea from the Scots or Picts when he was at Dumbarton in 577, it is quite clear, from the repetition of the word _vreith_, that his kilt had the attribute of stripyness to a greater extent than was usually the case; while it is also equally clear, that amongst the Britons of that period, kilts of a stripy character were so common as to excite no surprise. We may therefore affirm, 1. That in the beginning of the seventh century the British chiefs were in the habit of wearing skin kilts. 2. That striped kilts were common. 3. That a chief named Dinogad was distinguished by an excess of this kind of ornament. And 4. That as the Kymry of North Britain were on intimate terms with their neighbours, it is highly probable that the Scottish kilt is much older than 1597. T. STEPHENS. Merthyr Tydfil. NOTES ON JULIN, NO. 1. (Vol. ii., pp. 230. 282. 379. 443.) In approaching a subject set at rest so long since, I feel some apology due to you; and that apology I will make by giving you the results of my recent investigation of the question of Vineta _v._ Julin _alias_ Wollin, made in Pomerania, and noted from personal testimony and Pomeranian chronicles.
