{184} The _naviculæ_ mentioned by Giraldus bear the modern name of _coracles_, and are much used on the Welsh rivers for the taking of salmon. Their name is derived probably from the Celtic word _corawg_, which signifies a _ship_. They are mentioned by the ancient writers. {197} By the city of Legions Chester is here meant, not Caerleon. {198} Of the stones inscribed “HIC VICTOR FUIT HAROLDUS”—“HERE HAROLD CONQUERED,” no original, I believe, remains extant; but at the village of Trelech, in Monmouthshire, there is a modern pedestal bearing the above inscription.—See the description and engraving in Coxe’s Monmouthshire, p. 234. {203} In one MS. of Giraldus in the British Museum, this name is written Ovidius.
