Annotationes in Cap. 5.

PEragrata iam vniuersa prouincia Demeti∣ca, pergit Archiepiscopus ad Venedotiam, & ingreditur Meruiniam, Deuo confluente traiecto. Haec regio antiquitùs Meraonia dicta est, à Meraone filio Tibeaonis filij Cunedagij siue Cunethae, de quo Gildas Britannus mentionem fa∣cit: & etiam Meruinia à Meruino Lentigenoso Roderici Magni patre, eius prouinciae Domino: qui postea iure vxoris Rex factus est Cambriae. De qua Lelandus in Genethliaco:

Porrigitur vasto fluuij trans ostia Deui Tractu terra potens hastis Meruinia longis: In qua castrum ingens Arlecha crepidine saxi.

In hac regione est lacus Tegydius, de quo infrà cap. 11. & in Annot. ibidem.
