Note 222 — Chapter VI · THE TRIBAL SYSTEM (IN WALES).
Reading edition
Venedotian Code. Ancient Laws of Wales, pp. 81–2, and see pp. 644–6 (Welsh Laws). Mr. Skene, in his chapter on The Tribe in Wales in his Celtic Scotland, iii. pp. 200, 201, does not seem to have grasped fully the distinction between the free tribesmen and their family land on the one hand and the Aillts and Taeogs with their geldable or register land on the other. Everything, however, turns upon this. Compare Welsh Laws, xiv. s. 31 and s. 32 (pp. 739–741), where the distinction is again clearly stated.
