Abstract

In the year 1821 a respectable gentleman, Thomas Thompson, Esq. of Cottingham Castle, published “Ocellum Promontorium, or short Observations on the ancient state of Holderness.” In page 8 of those Observations he says, “in Horsley's Map of Ptolemy's Geography, in which are inserted the names of the British tribes, we find marked on the promontory Ocellum, the name Parisi, and there is no doubt that such was the name of the inhabitants of that promontory at the invasion of the Romans,” and for his authority quotes Whitaker's History of Manchester.
