Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The form vilbiam has been long known from the earliest of the Bath curse tablets to have been discovered. It has usually, but with some reservations, been regarded as a female personal name. If so, then, this curse tablet (RIB 154) is the only one to record the theft of a person. It is suggested here that vilbia, rather than being a personal name, is the term for some form of sharp-pointed object. It is further argued that it may be of Celtic origin and may have a Celtic reflex in Middle Welsh gwlf. | |
