and_o fibulae_fw-la it_o be_v very_o likely_a therefore_o that_o where_o those_o coin_n be_v find_v and_o not_o the_o other_o antiquity_n they_o be_v only_o bury_v there_o by_o the_o roman_n in_o their_o march_n when_o they_o quit_v their_o station_n who_o rather_o choose_v to_o hide_v they_o in_o the_o earth_n than_o let_v they_o fall_v into_o their_o enemy_n hand_n second_o it_o be_v
