https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%AAn_Scryfa The inscription, in debased Roman capitals, reads "Rialobrani Cunovali fili", which translates as "Rialobranus son of Cunovalus." Rialobran is not known elsewhere, but he may have been a Cornish petty king or tribal leader. Rialobran (or Ryalvran) may be Cornish for "royal raven", whereas Cunovallos may be British for "famous leader" (being cognate to the second element in the surname McConnell), thus the inscription would read "royal raven son of famous leader".[3] Alternatively, Cunovalus may be Cornish for "worthy hound".[4] Antiquarians, at one time, used to identify Cunovalus with the pre-Roman British king Cunobeline.[5] Scaniverse app
