Étymologie :
* Rivet & Smith (1979) : SOURCES - Ptolémée; II,3,12 : Maridounon ( = MARIDUNUM); variante Moridunon ( = MORIDUNUM); - Itinéraire d'Antonin, 482,9 (Iter XII) : MURIDONO. In these we have two conscious or unconscious assimilations : by Ptolemy to Latin 'mare' (though this could also be a kind of translation), and by AI to latin murus "wall" (as in one record of Moridunum). Haverfield conjectured MARI(D)VNO in a text of a milestone from Port Talbot, A.D 286-305 (RIB 2256); the Editor's note rejects this but leaves open the possibility that a recut texte may have mentioned the name in adjectival form, MARI(D)VRE(NSIS); but this must be rejected too, for the name has -dunum not -durum (they were by no means alternative), and Mori- not Mari- (the latter being no more than a Ptolemaic variation).IDENTIFICATION. The Roman city of Carmarthen (SN 4120), capital of the Civitas Demetarum and sited on the Afon Tywi at the head of tidal water. The modern name is is survival (Welsh Caerfyrddin) *********** ***** * A.D Mills (1991-2003) : Carmarthen (Caerfyrddin). Carm. Cair Mirdin 1130. 'Fort at Maridunum'. Welsh caer. The Roman town of Maridunum has a celtic name meaning 'fort by the sea' (British *mari- + *duno-). |
