[Footnote 27: Mamaccae, on the Oyse, between Compiegne and
Noyon, which Eginhart calls perparvi reditus villam, (see
the notes, and the map of ancient France for Dom. Bouquet's
Collection.) Compendium, or Compiegne, was a palace of more
dignity, (Hadrian. Valesii Notitia Galliarum, p. 152,) and
that laughing philosopher, the Abbe Galliani, (Dialogues sur
le Commerce des Bleds,) may truly affirm, that it was the
residence of the rois tres Chretiens en tres chevelus.]
