_Fermilodum_ (Vol. iv., p. 345).--I suspect H. E. has not read his seal
quite correctly. I surmise it is _Fermelioduni_. However, no doubt
Dunferline is meant; and the literal translation of the legend is, "Seal
of the city of Dunferline." This place was a royal burgh, with a palace;
and the word _civitas_ was not then confined to towns which were
Bishop's sees.
