Scientific paper

THERE were in Anglesey two contemporary saints who were in the habit of meeting together at a spot mid-way between their respective abodes. One was called Seiriol Wyn, ``Seiriol the White or Bright'', the epithet signifying his coming from the east, the region of sunrise. He had his abode on Puffin Island, on the extreme east of Anglesey. The other saint was called Cybi, and because he travelled to meet his friend from the west he was called Cybi Velyn, ``Cybi the Yellow''. ``He lived on Holy Island, at Caer Gybi'', ``Cybi's Camp'', the Welsh name of Holyhead. Their place of meeting was in the parish of Llandyvrydog, where there are two springs called Ffynnon Cybi and Ffynnon Seiriol, which are referred to by Matthew Arnold.
