river, " which in Welsh would be answered by al-y-cum-gwy. Camden says that the 2nd Cohort of the Lingones was quartered there is likewise attested by an old altar which I have seen there, now put under a pair of stairs, and inscribed by the captain of the second Cohort of the Lingones to Verbeia," Danum would seem to have stood on the site of the modern Doncaster. Camden, after speaking of Conisborough, says "from hence the Don, separating into two channels, runs to an ancient town commonly called at this day, Doncaster; by the Scots, Doncastle; by the Saxons, Donaceaster; by Ninnius, Caer-Daun; by Antoninus, Danum; and so likewise by the Notitia, which relates that the præfect of the Crispinian horse, under the Dux Britannia, garrisoned there." The name Danum is simply the Latin form of the Scytho-Keltic, dan, don; water, whence the Don, name of rivers in England, Scotland, Belgium, France, and Russia, Danus (now the Ain) in the Jura, and the Donau or Danube. 30, Millman Street, W.C..
