Linea 134:
:::OK, I have looked at Bede now, but it doesn't help much. What did he mean by Loidis regio? The district of Leeds, or the whole of Elmet? It isn't clear. Plummer (editor of my edition of Bede) goes for Leeds; evidently the editors of the OS map went for Elmet. And I still don't know where the spelling Leodis comes from. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 20:11, 8 Iunii 2007 (UTC)
:::... but my best guess would be Camden's ''Britannia'' or some such source -- a misspelling which got locally popular, a bit like Boadicea. Frustratingly, I really haven't time to look now. One day soon, I'll write the article on Loidis regio, OK? My father was born in Leeds. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 20:21, 8 Iunii 2007 (UTC)
