Remplacer CAMBOGLANNA par BANNA

Histoire : 

Selon la Notitia Dignitatum, fin IVè siècle, la forteresse de Banna a reçu en garnison l'unité :  

- Cohors Prima Aelia Dacorum = Première cohorte Dace Aelienne.

A. Banna, selon Rivet & Smith, p. 261-262 : 

- Rudge Cup et patère d'Amiens : BANNA.

- Ravenna, 107₂₈ : BANNA; 

- Inscription, RIB ₁₉₀₅ : dédicace au dieu Silvanus par les VENATORES BANNIESS(ES)

- Notitia Dignitatum, XL _43a : Tribunus cohortis primae Aeliae Dacorum BANNA.

- Notitia Dignitatum, XL ₄₄ : Tribunus cohortis secundae Tungrorum CAMBOGLANNA. This seems not only acceptable, but, once demonstrated, obvius.

The root is British *banno- *banna 'peak, horn ', surviving in Welsh and Breton ban, and known in Old Irish as benn, all with the original senses. For Gaulish Dottin LG 85 and 231 identified *benno- in the sense 'tongue, horn' applied to promontories. The word entered an area of Vulgar Latin and produced Old Provençal ban, bana, Catalan banya 'horn' (ELH I. 146). In toponymy the root is well known. In Britain were Bannatia, Bannaventa, Bannovalium; abroad *Banna > Bannes (Marne, France : Holder III. 799)', Cantobenna > Chantoin (Puy-de-Dôme, France) with adjectival Canto-benn-icus 'white-peaked' (Watson CPNS 31), Brigobanne (TP) now Hüfingen(Austria),*Bannobriga > Banobre (Coruna, Spain). There seems to have been a personal name also; a moulded text on a small pan probably from an apothecary's scales, found at Sea Mills, reads (B)LNNLF 'Banna fecit' (JRS, LIV (1964), 179), a mark known also from several Continental places (Holder I. 341, III. 799). In place-names Banna clearly indicates a notable 'horn', 'spur' or promontory of rock. According to Rostaing ETP 86-87, *ban- *ben-is, beyond Celtic, a pre-Indo-European element whose sense evolved from 'hauteur' to 'pointe', which fits neatly with 'horn, peak'; his examples include a Banata in Mesopotamia, the Banienses people of Lusitania, Bantia in Apulia and the famous fountain Bandusia of Horace.

Adjectival Banniess(es) in the inscription shows Vulgar Latin assimilation of -ns- > -ss-; compare a similar adjective with assimilation under VINDOLANDA, and see p. 25."

Signification du mot BANNA : bec, pointe, hauteur.
