The Roman Map of Britain Letoceto Wall, Staffordshire
Lectoceto (R&C
94) next
Etoceto var. .etoceto (AI 4702
Iter II)
There was
cross-contamination between the two consecutive Cosmography entries Lectoceto
and Laciodulma (for Iectoduro). The -c- of Lectoceto
(for Letoceto) is not necessarily an assimilation to L. lecto-
'bed', the similarity of form of the initial elements - Leto- and Iecto-
is enough to explain the error.
The lost initial L of Letoceto might have been
treated as a text divider and discarded, note the variant form .etoceto.
