Kal. Julii (June 25), p. 129. In Scotia, S. Lugudus, abbas et confessor. This is S. Lugad, called also Luoc, Molugad, or Moluoc, Abbot of Lismore in the Hebrides’: who died A. D. 588, according to the Annals of the Four Masters. In the Martyrology of Aengus, he is called Lamluoc: “ Lamluoc jlan jeloai J5pian Lipp moip oealbai.” And the gloss adds : “ .1. fDoluoc Lipp moip 1 n-Glbcun. .1. Cille Oelja i n-Gpojall.” ‘ Lamluoc, the pure, the bright, The sun of Lismore the pleasant.” i.e. Moluoc of Lismore in Scotland. i. e. of Kill-Delga in Ardgall” [the He- brides]. Non. s The word lijaij is explained in the gloss.: “ .1. alamo no cenoaip,” “ beauti- ful or placid.” * Lann-leri is supposed by Archdall (Monast. p. 722) to be the place which is now called Lynn, in the barony of Delvin, County Westmeath, near Mullingar. It was destroyed by fire, according to the Four Masters, in 968, 1002, 1050, and 1148. See Colgan, Tr. Thaum. p. 633. u Colgan in his list of the saints de- scended from Colla da Chrioch, makesBae- thine the uncle of Furadran (Acta SS. p. 713). This, however, is probably a mis- take of the press ; for in the Trias Thaum. (p. 377, n. 63), he speaks of “ Baithanus filius Mainani et frater Sancti Furadhrani, 18 Jun.” The genealogy of Moenan is as follows : Moenan, son of Colgan, son of Tuatha Cruinbheoil, son of Fedhlimidh, son of Fiachra Cassain, son of Colla-da- chrioch. v Archdall (Monast. p. 691) sets down St. Lugad as Abbot of Lismore in Ireland. Colgan, however, had guarded against this mistake, Tr. Thaum. p. 481 ; Conf. Acta SS. p. 193 ; and Lanigan, Eccl. Hist. vol. ii. p. 213, n. (102).
