Iohn Leland syllab. ant dict. Hum. Also by the witnes of Humfrey Llhoyd, there is an Iland néere vnto Wales, called Insula Bardorum, and Bardsey, whereof the one name in Latine, and the other in Saxon or old English, signifieth the Iland of the Bardes or Barthes. Thus farré the gouernement of the Celts in this Ile. Bodinus writeth vpon report, that the British and Celtike language was all one.
But whether that be true or not, I am not able to affirme, bicause the Celtike toong is long sithens growne wholie out of vse. In déed Pausanias the Grecian maketh mention how the Celts in their language called a horsse Marc: and by that name doo the Welshmen call a horsse to this day: and the word Trimarc in Pausanias, signifieth in the Celtike toong, thrée horsses.
