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translation; K.W. Bouterwek (1851-1854); C.W.M. Grein in his _Bibliothek der angelsaechsischen Poesie_ (1857) are superseded, so far as the text is concerned, by R. Wuelker's re-edition of Grein's _Bibliothek_, Bd.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. (H. BR.) [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. See Ch. Huelsen in Pauly-Wissowa, _Realencyclopadie_, iii. 1252. CAEN, a city of north-western France, capital of the department of Calvados, 71/2 m. from the English Channel and 149 m. W.N.W. of Paris on the Western railway to Cherbourg. Pop. (1906) 36,247. It is situated in the valley and on the left bank of the Orne, the right bank of which is occ
