[The Stowe copy of Junius, it appears, was bought by Mr. Rodd for 9l.,
no doubt upon commission.]
_What is a "Tye?"_--In Essex, many parishes have a place called "the tye,"
which I believe is always an out-lying place where three roads meet. In an
old map I have seen one place now called "Tye" written "Dei." Is it where a
cross once stood, and Tye a corruption of Dei? Forby, in his _East Anglian
Vocabulary_, mentions it, but cannot make it out.
