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.
