BIRSA
Birsa is denominated the barony,
in which is an excellent palace where in times past the King of
Orkney reigned; but when Julius Caesar [was] governing the whole
world, by some means conveyed the king to Rome, and afterwards Orkney
was subject to the Romans, as the inscription on a stone testifies
the name of the King was Gavus [Ganus].*
* - what the author is referring to here
is unclear, as is the identity of his King Gavus.
