Saint Patrick & Names along the Antonine wall

[Nathan Ross]

the early works on Saint Patrick telling us he was born in the area of Strathclyde.

How many early works mention that he came from Strathclyde? I can only find one - a 10th-century gloss of the 8th-century hymn of Fiacc, explaining the name Nemthur as Alt Clud, which is in that country.

Christians with Roman names may have come to Strathclyde to escape the various persecutions against the Christians.

What persecutions? And why would they have fled to Strathclyde?

the Gaelic hymn of Fiacc records Nemthur as the birthplace of Saint Patrick and because it was recorded close to the relevant period

But the Confessio, apparently written by Patrick himself, says he came from uico Bannauem taberniae, or Bannaventa burniae, or Bonavem tabernia, or something... So either this unknown place is the same as 'Nemthur' (or 'nem Thur'), or Patrick is lying about his origins, or he forgot where was from... Or 'nem thur' is not his place of origin.

if we accept a variant reading of an inscription at found Mumrills fort, this inscription confirms Mumrills was VOLITANIO

Which inscription is this? I didn't know there was any inscriptional evidence for these place names on the Antonine Wall.
