- Latin translation of it appended: "Kilhart industriosus ferarum insecutor tumuiatur in extremitatibus Evyonyth qnam (sic; lege qui) preparatam cenam magistro canum seu venatori prouidebat die quo feram venabatur." Eifionydd was a commot, never a cantred, as wrongly implied in Edward Jones' miserable doggrel ; and Bedd Gelert is at the northern extremity of the district. A story of a marvellous " run " of a buck and hounds is traditionally preserved in the Vale of Llanberis. E.P.]

- P. 263, second paragraph. [Edward Jones in his first edition of the Relicks (1784, p. 40), says that Cylart was the greyhound of Prince Llewelyn ap Gruffudd ap Llewelyn (the last native Prince of Wales, succeeded 1254, slain 1282 ) ; but in his second ed. (1794, p. 75) he says that Cilhart was the greyhound of that Llewelyn's grandfather, Llywelyn ap lorwerth (also known as Llewelyn the Great, who succeeded in 1194 and died in 1240). Addl. MS. 19713 also tells the legend of Joan, wife of Llywelyn ap lorwerth. Both Llywelyns were the donors of estates to Bedd Gelert Priory. In the "Inspeximus" Charter referred to, of 14 Edward I., i.e., 1286, as printed in both editions of Dugdale, the name is spelt Bethkelert and Betkelert. The sound dd ( = the English th in the, that) was at that time variously written d, t, th, or even s; and Bedd can only mean "a grave." The writer of Addl. MS. 19713 says : "Cujus quidem tumba in hodiernum diem nuncupatur [Beth] kilhart, hoc est tumba canis kilhart." The entombment is there stated to have been "in fossa terr' graminea in valle qua cecidit" ("in valle ubi nunc est monasterium"), no rock or cairn being alluded to. The combination rt, though abnormal in literary Welsh, exists in Llanwrtyd, a parish in Breconshire ; and also dialectically (e.g., in the Swansea Valley) for -rth. E.P.]
