the eldest son of Japheth, by whom a great part of Asia Minor was
first peopled, and particularly that extensive tract which was called
Phrygia, including the sub-divisions of Mysia, Galatia, Bithynia,
Lycaonia, &c. The colonies of Gomer extended into Germany, Gaul, (in
both of which traces of the name are preserved,) and Britain, which was
undoubtedly peopled from Gaul. Among the descendants of the ancient
inhabitants of this island, namely, the Welsh, the words _Kumero_ and
_Kumeraeg_, the names of the people and the language, sufficiently point
out their origin. In fact, under the names of Cimmerii, Cimbri, Cymrig,
Cumbri, Umbri, and Cambri, the tribes of Gomerians extended themselves
from the Euxine to the Atlantic, and from Italy to the Baltic; having
added to their original names those of Celts, Gauls, Galatæ, and Gaels,
superadded.
