186 PHGNICIAN ORIGIN OF BRITONS & SCOTS

founding a new colony on the Rhine. That remarkable record in the Chronicle states that about 970 B.c. a colony of the sons of King Ebraucus, the fourth in linear descent from Brutus, sailed from Britain with a fleet and, conquering Germany, settled there. This now appears to disclose the hitherto unobserved British Origin of the “ Anglo-Saxons "’ and the “ Anglo-Saxon ”’ language—the term ‘“‘ Anglo-Saxon,” which is now so common in popular usage, was unknown to the Danish and Germanic invading Jutes, Angles and Saxons of the fifth century a.p. themselves, and appears to have been first coined only in 1783 in Bailey’s Dictionary as a term for the language of the Saxon Chronicle and of Alfred and that period. “ Anglo-Saxon” as a racial or ethnic term is even more recent.

This Briton invasion and colonization of Germany by King Brutus’ descendants, about 970 B.c., now accounts for the first time for the Aryanization in speech of the various non-Aryan Slavonic or Sarmatian tribes of Germany, and also supplies the date for this great epoch-making event in the history of continental Europe. It also explains the origin and existence of the ‘‘ Continental Britanni’’ mentioned by Pliny as living on the banks of the Somme,? the Cat-alauni tribe on the Marne ; and the various Catti or Gothic tribes in the Rhine Valley described by Tacitus,? namely the Caéti or Chatti, the most heroic of the tribes in Germany,* the Chaucit (? Saxons), Qadi of Moravia, the Goth-ones, and Goth-ini with their iron-mines on the Vistula and Oder, the Sié-ones, and the Cimbri in Jut-land, where we find, a short time later, ‘‘ Goths’’ and “‘ Goth-land’”’; while the Angeli (Angles, the “ Yugl-ing Goths’’ of the Eddas) occupied in the first century A.D. the neck of Schleswig-Holstein of Denmark or Jut-land adjoining the Cimbri (or Cymri).

*The “ Catti’’ or ‘‘ Chatti’ are not mentioned by Czsar, as they were outside the frontier of the Roman empire and influence. Some writers have sought to identify them with the ‘‘ Suevi’”’ of Czesar’s Commentaries, but Tacitus sharply differentiates the ‘‘ Catti’’ from the “ Suevi.’’ This Early Briton migration of Catti or Goths to the Rhine Valley would account

for the remains of long-headed skulls of Aryan type in the early prehistoric graves there.
