- Origins
The Venicones were a Celtic tribe inhabiting the area now known as Fife in Scotland. "Unfortunately for the Venicones, they occupied the very region that the Romans needed to invade several times in order to quell attacks by Britons (Picts) in the east of the Highlands, including attacks by the 'Pictish navy." Fleeing the Roman advances by sea, some of the Venicones may have resettled in Donetal, Ireland, and Gwynedd, Wales. [1]
A legionary fortress was built at Inchtuthill, Tayside (Pinnata Castra), which remained occupied during the late first century by the Twentieth Legion Valeria.[2]
Birth and Parents
Tacitus ap Cein, "Tegid", son of (Gwr-)Cein ap Doli, flourished about the year 270. ref name="venicones"/>
Wolcott observes that review of the most ancient manuscripts suggests the omission of some generations, and Tegis is actually the son of Iago. [3]
Issue
Tacitus "Tegid" was the father of his son, Paternus Pasrut (of the Red Robe) who flourished about 305. [1]
Williams adds that Tegid ab Iago is named the father of Padarn Beisrudd in the biographical dictionary Enwogion Cymru.[4]
Padarn (Beisrudd) is said to have been a hermit and bishop. "Pais Padarn Beisrudd" or the coat of Padarn with the crimson coat, was onew of the thirteen beautiful specimens of workmanship of the Isle of Britain. (See Jones's Bardic Museum, 48) [4]
Research Notes
Harleian Manuscript
Harleian MS 3859 names Patn pefrut, child of Tacit, child of Cein; material from Jesus College MS 20 and Hengwrt MS 33 indicate that there are two more generations, Iago and Gwyndog, between Tacit/Tegid and Cein.[3]

Pedigree of Pughe
Tegid appears in a pedigree of Pughe, of Mathavarn, in Cyveilog, reaching back to biblical Adam, presented by Lewys Dwnn. The pedigree illustrates the fondness of the Welsh for pedigrees as well as the difficulty of determining at what point the pedigree moves from history to legend. [6]
The pedigree of Pughe also appears in a work by the Powys-land Club.[7]
The complete pedigree is presented and discussed at Space: John Pughe's Descent from Adam
According to Darrell Wolcott [3]he should be Tegid ab Iago rather than ap Cein.
