Editing Maponos (section)

===Toponymy===
Two items of place-name evidence also attest to Maponos in Britain. Both are from the 7th-century [[Ravenna Cosmography]]. ''Locus Maponi'' (Richmond & Crawford #228) or "the place of Maponos", is thought to be between [[Lochmaben]] and [[Lockerbie]] (the name Lochmaben may be derived from Locus Maponi, with the ''p'' to ''b'' sound shift). ''Maporiton'' (Richmond & Crawford #163) or "the ford of Maponos" is thought to be Ladyward, near Lockerbie. The [[Lochmaben Stone]] lies near Gretna on the farm named Old Graitney, the old name for Gretna. The name Clachmaben, meaning 'stone of Maben or Maponos', has become corrupted to Lochmaben. This stone was probably part of a stone circle and the area is thought to have been a centre for the worship of Maponus. An inscription from [[Birrens]] in Scotland (RIB-3, 3482 / AE 1968, 254) mentions a ''lo(cus) Mabomi'', which is often regarded as a stone-cutter's error for ''locus *Maponi''.<ref name=":0" />
