Inscription Found on a Pillar


"On one side of the pillar was an inscription, of which I took a note:

DEVOMNODENT--i--
FLA--v--IVSSENILISPOSSV--it--
PROPTERNVP--tia
--qua--SVIDITSVBVMB--ra--

'To the great god Nodens (the god of the Great Deep or Abyss) Flavius Senilis has erected this pillar on account of the marriage which he saw beneath the shade.' "

Chapter VIII, The Fragments, The Great God Pan, Arthur Machen
