Arbeja
Arbeja occurs in the Notitia Dignitatum. Name for name it coincides with Ireby in Cumberland; but those who lay much stress on the negative evidence of the absence of Roman remains at Ireby prefer Moresby in the same county. Now, the by in each of these words is Danish; and Arbeja is one of the forms, which have been quoted in favour of the doctrine of Danish Settlements in Great Britain, anterior to the Saxon invasion, held by more than one competent investigator.
