xons. The initial element _Caed_--or _Cead_ (probably adopted
from British names in which it represents _catu_, war) appears combined
with an Old English terminal element in the name _Caedbaed_ (cp., however,
the Irish name Cathbad), and hypocoristic forms of names containing it were
borne by the English saints Ceadda (commonly known as St Chad) and his
brother Cedd, called Ceadwealla in one MS. of the _Old English
Martyrology_. A Cadmon witnesses a Buckinghamshire charter of about A.D.
948.
The older editions of the so-called "Caedmon's Paraphrase" by F. Junius
(1655); B. Thorpe (1832), with an English translation; K.W. Bouterwek
(1851-1854); C.W.M. Grein in his _Bibliothek der angelsaechsischen Poesie_
(1857) are superseded, so far as the text is concerned, by R. Wuelker's
re-edition of Grein's _Bibliothek_, Bd. ii. (1895). This work contains also
the texts of the _Hymn_ and the _Dream of the Rood_. The pictorial
illustrations of the Junius MS. were published in 1833 by Sir H. Ellis.

[1] It is a significant fact that the Alfredian version, instead of
translating this sentence, introduces the verses with the words, "This is
the order of the words."
[2] The invention of these names was perhaps suggested by _Pericope Oollae
et Oolibae_, which may have been a current title for the 23rd chapter of
Ezekiel.
[3] Stephens read the inscription on the top-stone as _Cadmon mae fauaepo_,
which he rendered "Cadmon made me." But these words are mere jargon, not
belonging to any known or possible Old English dialect.
[v.04 p.0936] CAELIA, the name of two ancient cities in Italy, (1) In
Apulia (mod. _Ceglie di Bari_) on the Via Traiana, 5 m. S. of Barium. Coins
found here bearing the inscription [Greek: Kailinon] prove that it was once
an independent town. Discoveries of ruins and tombs have also been made.
(2) In Calabria (mod. _Ceglie Messapica_) 25 m. W. of Brundusium, and 991
ft. above sea-level. It was in early times a place of some importance, as
is indicated by the remains of a prehistoric _enceinte_ and by the
discovery of several Messapian inscriptions.
