Caesar notices the migrations of continental tribes to Britain: he says, “Britanniae pars interior ab iis incolitur, quos natos in insula ipsa memoria proditum dicunt; maritima pars ab iis qui praedae ac belli inferendi causa ex Belgis transierant; qui omnes fere iis nominibus civitatum adpellantur, quibus orti ex civitatibus eo pervenerunt, et bello inlato ibi remanserunt, atque agros colere coeperunt.” Bell. Gall. v. 12. Footnote 16: Ptolemy, bk. ii. c. 2. It is true that Ptolemy calls them Καύκοι, but this mode of spelling is not unexampled, and is found in even so correct a writer as Strabo. The proper form is Καύχοι. Latin authors occasionally write Cauci for Chauci, and sometimes even Cauchi: see Zeuss, Die Deutschen und die Nachbarstämme, p. 138. It is right to add that Zeuss, whose opinion on such a point is entitled to the highest consideration, hesitates to include these Καυκοι among Germanic tribes (p. 199). The Μανάπιοι, placed also by Ptolemy in Ireland, can hardly be Germans. Footnote 17: Ptolemy, bk. ii. c. 3. μεθ’ οὗς Κοριταυοὶ, ἐν οἷς πόλεις, λίνδον, ῥάγε· εἶτα, Κατυευχλανοὶ, ἐν οἷς πόλεις, σαλῆναι[al. σαλιοῦαι], οὐρολάνιον. Others have preferred the form Κοριτανοὶ, but the authority of the best manuscripts, not less than the analogy of the names Ingaevones, Iscaevones, Chamavi, Batavi, confirms the earlier reading. According to the Triads, these Coritavi (Coriniaidd) had migrated from a Teutonic marshland. Thorpe’s Lappenberg, i. 15. The word is thus in all probability derived from Hor, _lutum_, Horiht, _lutosus_; equivalent to the “aquosa Fresonum arva.” Vit. Sci. Sturm. Pertz. ii. 372. “Saxones, gentem oceani, in littoribus et paludibus inviis sitam.” Oros. vii. 32. Footnote 18: Chatuarii, Heaðobeardan, Heaðoræmes. However Catu is a genuine British prefix. Without, however, laying more stress upon these facts than they will fairly warrant, let us proceed to other considerations which render it probable that a large admixture of German tribes was found in England long previous to the middle of the fifth century. It appears to me that the presence of Roman emperors recruiting the forces with which the throne of the world was to be disputed, from among the hardiest populations of the continent, must not only have led to the settlement of Teutonic families in this island, but also to the maintenance, on their part, of a steady intercourse with their kinsmen who remained behind. The military colony, moreover, which claimed to be settled upon good arable land, formed the easiest and most advantageous mode of pensioning the _emeriti_; and many a successful Caesar may have felt that his own safety was better secured by portioning his German veterans in the fruitful valleys of England, than by settling them as doubtful garrisons in Lombardy or Campania.
