ARBEJA
ARBEJA occurs in the
Notitia Dignitatum. Name for name it coincides with
Ireby in Cumberland; but those who lay much stress on the negative evidence of the absence of Roman remains at
Ireby prefer
Moresby in the same county. Now, the
by in each of these words is Danish; and
Arbeja is one of the forms, which have been quoted in favour of the doctrine of
Danish Settlements in Great Britain, anterior to the Saxon invasion, held by more than one competent investigator.
