In  the  parish  of  ST.  JOHN,  in  Bedwardine,  otherwise

Great  Okebum ;  and  Ogboume  St.  Andrews,  or  Little  Okebum,
in  the  county  of  Wilts.  These  names  may  either  be  derived

Ogmius^,  the  Hercules  of  the  Gauls.  The  Ogofeiu  Mine,  in
Carmarthenshire,  is  supposed  to  have  been  worked  by  the
Bomansf.
