and flourished A.D. 62, but may have died about A.D. 89. Of him it has been
written of which we give a translation : — " Forward, united by noble birth to
Scotia goes Mansuetun " (Menzies). There are in the Menzies' country close to
the Clachan of Dull, or Tulli — which is its ancient place-name — several other
places which still retain the ancient form of the name, such as Tulli-cro, lying
between Dull and the Tay; then, on the other side of the river is Tulli-chuil; and to
the west is Tulli-ch Wester and Easter, Tulli-chglas, Tuli-chan, and Tulli-chvill.

ABOUT A.D. 69 TO ABOUT 150.
^''HE successor of Mansuetus, Menzies, appears to be Medanus, or Meanus
^^, probably his son, who has been recorded as one of the Scots writers,
possibly born about A.D. 69., and is said to have flourished about A.D. 100,
but may have died about 150. Mackenzie puts his name on the Roll of Scots
authors who flourished about A.D. 100. When the letter d is removed from the
name, the name becomes very similar to the modern Gaelic Mean-rich, Meanus.

^^*HIS Menzies appears to have been the son of the foregoing. It is afterwards
^^, recorded of Mandanus, who died about the year 1000 — when referring
to this Medani Menzies — that he had a Brother Friar, Modani, remote
by many ages, showing a slight alteration in the name, so as to distinguish
between them, as they were both writers. He is referred to by Hector Bcethius
as one of the Scottish writers, and an author of considerable learning, being
born about 145, and flourished about A.D. 234. — No. 936, Hist. Eccl. Gents Scot.,
