HAving survey’d, in order, the
Counties of the Coritani, who were seated in the Western Parts; we proceed to take a view of the Cornabii
or Cornavii; the original of which name, I must leave to others. It is true, I could wrest it to
this and that signification: but since none will either suit the nature of the place, or genius of the people, I shall
not swell my book with them. To pursue my design therefore, I shall severally go through those Provinces, which
(according to Ptolemy’s description) the Cornavii seem to have possess’d, (viz.) Warwickshire,
Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Cheshire. In all which, not the least footstep of the
name Cornavii remains at this day; although it seems to have continu’d down to the declension of the Roman
Empire. turmae For the † † Numeri & Turmæ.Troops of the
Cornavii serv’d under the later Emperors; as may be seen in the * * Libro
Notitiarum.Breviary of the Western Empire.
