Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713)Such of their Bricks as have Inscriptions upon them, are very rarely met with: I have
made a most diligent Inquest after those that Camden mentions at
Grimscar near Eland, but can find no
more Remains of them, than of the noted Inscription, Paulinus hic
prædicavit & celebravit, at Dewsbury, which
was not to be met with upon the strictest Scrutiny, I could possibly make, when I went
purposely to the Place. This shews the Necessity of Repositories for such venerable
Remains. But though those of the fourth Cohort are lost, yet good
Hap hath brought to my Notice and Possession one of the ninth
Legion's, which the learned Sir Hen. Savile in his Notes
upon Tacitus, shews to have been in Britain in Galba's Time, and that it was also Hispaniensis; but that it, as well as the VIth and XXth, was also
called Victrix, or that it resided at Yorke, was not known before; and yet both are evident from the Inscription upon
this Brick found there, in Mickle-gate, not far from Trinity-yard, where was digg'd up the Funeral Monument of
the Standard-Bearer of the said VIIII Legion (which Way of Writing 9 is frequent
upon the Roman Monies); of which see the Phil. Trans. N° 305, and the curious Oxford Livy (Vol. 6. p. 181.)
