   (continued from previous page)

   written by St. Aengus, the Culdee, about the year A.D. 800. It is a metrical composition in which at each day one or more saints are commemorated in a stanza of four lines. Explanatory notes were inserted between lines or in the margin either by Aengus himself, or some later writer. I give here the stanza recording the memory of St. Sinech from the "Martyrology of Aengus the Culdee" edited with translation and notes by Whitley Stokes, London 1905 :-
   111 nonas Octobris,
   Blog dond luc logmair,
   la slog martir namrae,
   Sinech ingen Fergna
   Cruachan Maige Abnac
   Translation
   October 5th.
   A fragment of the precious stone,
   With a host of marvellous martyrs,
   Sinech, Fergnae's daughter, of
   Cruachan maige Abnac.
   Notes.
