Synopsis
Excerpt from Vinisius to Nigra: A 4th Cent, Christian Letter Written in South Britain and Discovered at Bath
I owe my knowledge of the tablet to my friend Prof. Sayce, who, thinking it might be in a Keltic language, urged me to try to read it. He lent me two sets of photographs by Messrs. J. 85 J. Dutton (now no longer at Bath) and a tran script of the strokes on the obverse. I took them away on my holidays in 1900, and deciphered much the greater part of the text: but I wanted more photographs. Through the kindness of the late Maj. Davis and (his successor in Charge of Bath antiquities) Mr. Alfred J. Taylor, these have been taken for me by Mr. W. G. Lewis, 2 Seymour st., Bath; and, after lately giving more holidays to them and visiting the original 1, I feel that it is time to communicate the result.
