hundred and seventy-three years.
Also from Stilicho to Valentinian, son of Placida, and the reign of
Vortigern, are twenty-eight years.
And from the reign of Vortigern to the quarrel between Guitolinus and
Ambrosius, are twelve years, which is Guoloppum, that is Catgwaloph.*
Vortigern reigned in Britain when Theodosius and Valentinian were
consuls, and in the fourth year of his reign the Saxons came to Britain,
in the consulship of Felix and Taurus, in the four hundredth year from
the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
* In Carmarthenshire. Perhaps the town now called Kidwelly.
From the year in which the Saxons came into Britain, and were received
by Vortigern, to the time of Decius and Valerian, are sixty-nine years.
