[2] This is the usually accepted division of tribes; but Dr. Latham denies that the Jutes, or inhabitants of Jutland, shared in the invasion.  The difficult question does not affect the scope of our inquiry.

[9] Kemble ("Saxon in England”) suggests the resemblance between the fictitious landing of Hengist and Horsa “in three keels,” and the Gothic tradition of the migration of Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Gepidae to the mouth of the Vistula in the same manner.  Dr. Latham (English Language) fixes the Germanic immigration into Britain at the middle of the fourth, instead of the middle of the fifth century.

[15] Craik says, (i. 198,) “Or, as he is also called, Lawemon—­for the old character represented in this instance by our modern y is really only a guttural, (and by no means either a j or a z,) by which it is sometimes rendered.”  Marsh says, “Or, perhaps, Lagamon, for we do not know the sound of y in this name.”
