ab Gwyddnaw Garanhir; sev yu gelwid felly achaws rhoddi
eu pwys yn aur am danynt o ddwylaw au lladdes." (Tr. lxxvii. third
series.)

His grave is alluded to by Hywel the son of Owain Gwynedd, about A.D.
1160, in these lines;--

"Tonn wenn orewyn a orwlych bet
Gwytua ruuawn bebyr ben teyrnet." (Myv. Arch v. i. p. 277.)

The white wave, mantled with foam, bedews the grave,
The resting place of Rhuvawn Pebyr, chief of kings.

{132b} There may be some slight allusion here to the circumstance
mentioned in the last Triad.

{132c} Coelvain; the stones of omen, an honorary reward. In this stanza
Rhuvawn is celebrated as pious, valiant, and hospitable.

{132d} The hall (neuadd) might have been the camp itself, or it might
have been the general's tent, answering to the Roman praetorium. Along
the extent of the Catrail there are several forts of the British people,
which were built either on the contiguous hills, or on the neighbouring
heights. A field in the neighbourhood of Dolgelley, which exhibits clear
vestiges of an ancient encampment, goes by the name of "_Neuadd Goch_."

"Neuadd pob diddos."

Every shelter is a hall. (Adage.)

{133a} Or, "so great, so immense was the slaughter." Another reading;
"So great, a sea of radiance was the slaughter," "mor o wawr," in
reference to the brightness of the weapons.

{133b} Morien Manawc is mentioned in the "Dream of Rhonabwy", as one of
the counsellors of Arthur, (p. 416.) His grave is pointed out in the
following lines;--(Myv. Arch. vol. i. page 79.)

"E Beteu ae cut gwitwal
Ny llesseint heb ymtial
Gwrien Morien a Morial.

The graves that have their mounds together,
Are theirs, who fell not unavenged,
Gwrien, Morien, and Morial.

His memory was much cherished by the mediaeval Bards, who not
unfrequently compare their patrons to him. Thus Risserdyn (1290, 1340)
says that Hywel ap Gruffydd had "vreich Moryen," the arm of Morien; and
his contemporary Madawg Dwygraig eulogises Gruffydd ap Madawg as being
"ail Morien," a second Morien.

{133c} "Medut," from "meddu," to possess, or it may signify "_drunk_,"
from "meddw." The kindling of the fire seems to have been for the
purpose of annoying the enemy. Perhaps the allusion to fires, which
occurs so frequently in the Poem, may, in some measure, explain the burnt
and calcined features of many of our old camps.

{133d} Cynon was probably the general
