Roman Inscription,
Belatucadr
Jan. 3.
Mr. URBAN,
IN the Roman inscription, elucidated p.1092. BELUTACADR is
partly left unexplained. It is British, and is literally,
Bel, the puissant god. Bel, which is here
personified, is the Celtic radical word for war; whence
Rhyfel, now used in the same sense, formed from
Rhy and Bel, which implies the excess and
devastation of BEL.
Yours, &c.
OWAIN O FEIRION.
