The answer derivable from Strabo. Herodotus, and other ancient historians, is that the Greeks and Romans, like the Phoenicians before them, went for tin to the islands known as the " Cassiterides. " What does ;; Cassiterides " mean ? The tin islands, from cassiteros the name given by the Greeks to tin. Look on any ancient map, and Cassiterides will be found marked under the British Islands. But originally the Greeks did not know the name by which the Cassiterides were known to the original Phoe...nician traders. They only knew there were such islands without knowing where, or what geographical phrase they were known by. When they did know, they found they were known as the Britannic Isles. Why Britannic isles ? Britannia is a Celtic name. The Celtic language is Phoenician naturalised in these islands from the first settlers, the descendants of Tarshish, son of Javau, one of those by whom " the isles of the Gentiles were divided in their lands. " (Gen. X. 5. ) In pure Celtic, Britannia signifies the LAKD OF METALS ; in Syriac, from which it is derived, Baratanac means the laud of tin The modern name, Britain, is but a modification of the ancient Baratanac or Britannia, consequently, The British Isles literally mean the tin isles, and identify Britain a the Cassiterides (tin islands) of the Greeks, and the Tarshish of the Scriptures which, supplied Tyre with " silver, iron, tin and lead.
