The other was Pryderi, the son of Pwyll Pen Annwn, a chieftain of Dyved, which country is by Lewis Glyn Cothi called “Gwlad Pryderi;” and by Davydd ab Gwilym, “Pryderi dir.” He is styled one of the three strong swineherds of Britain, having tended the swine of Pendaran his foster father, during the absence of his father in the unknown world. “Tri Gwrddveichiad ynys Prydain; cyntav vu Pryderi vab Pwyll Pendaran Dyved, a getwis voch ei dad tra yttoedd yn Annwn; ac yng nglyn Cwch yn Emlyn y cetwis eve wynt.” &c. (Triad, 101.) In the Tale of Math Mathonwy, he is said to have been buried at Maen Tyriawg, near Ffestiniog. We may therefore presume that the Englynion y Beddau refer to the other in the following passage; “Yn Abergenoli y mae Bet Pryderi Yn y terau tormeu tir.” In Abergenoli is the grave of Pryderi, Where the waves beat against the shore. A saying of Pryderi has been thus recorded;— “Hast thou heard the saying of Pryderi, The wisest person in counselling? There is no wisdom like silence.” (Iolo MSS. p. 661.) {190a} “Pryderaf,” I am anxious about; a word suggested by the name of the chief. {190b} A result brought about by the arrival of Pryderi’s troops. {190c} “Have I been afflicted.” {190d} “Celaig;” from _cel_, the root also of Celtiaid and Celyddon. {190e} There were two territories of this name, Argoed Derwennydd, (Derwent wood apparently) and Argoed Calchvynydd, “between the river Tren and the river Tain, that is the river of London.” (Iolo MSS. p. 476.) One of them, the former probably, was the patrimony of Llywarch Hen. “Cyn bum cain vaglawg, bum cyfes eiriawg, Ceinvygir ni eres; Gwyr Argoed eirioed a’m porthes.” (Elegy on Old Age.) Before I appeared with crutches, I was eloquent in my complaint, It will be extolled, what is not wonderful— The men of Argoed have ever supported me! {191a} “Gwal.” “The Cymmry appropriated this name to regions that were cultivated and had fixed inhabitancy, as opposed to the wilds, or the unsettled residences of the Celtiaid, Celyddon, Gwyddyl, Gwyddelod, Ysgotiaid, and Ysgodogion; which are terms descriptive of such tribes as lived by hunting and tending their flocks.” (Dr. Pughe, sub. voce.) Both descriptions of persons are thus included in the Bard’s affectionate regret. Al. “accustomed at the rampart.” {191b} “Pwys;” pressure or weight. Or perhaps “arlwydd pwys” means “the legitimate lord,” in opposition to usurpers, just as a wedded wife is styled “gwraig bwys,” as distinguished from a concubine. {191c} “Dilyvn;” or perhaps “dylyvn,” smooth. {191d} Al. “rekindled.” {191e} “Gosgroyw,” rather fresh. {191f} Geraint, the son of Erbin, was prince of Dyvnaint, (Devon) and one of the three owners of fleets of the Isle of Britain, each fleet consisting of 120 ships, and each ship being manned by 120 persons.
