    This gloss is as follows : “ .1. Cnep mjen Chomcliaioe do t)al “ i. e. [he was so called because'] Cues, Cechipn a macaip.

Or Mac cnis Patraic [*. e. choclao.” the son of Patrick’s skin], because it was with Patrick he was fostered, i. e. with him he used to sleep.” Another gloss gives him a different genealogy : “ Caeman 6pecc, mac Nipi, mic Ne- “ Caeman Brec, Mac Nisi, son of Ne- mainoip, mic 6ipc, mic Gchac TTlunope- maindir, son of Ere, son of Echaidh Mun- maip.

But Aengus was his first name11.” The Annals of Tighernach, as published by Dr. 0’Conor, make Fobrec his brother, not his father: “510. Kl. iiii. ITlac Nippi .1. Genjup “510 Kal. iiiim.

In the Dublin copy of m “ Kal. iiii.” This indicates that thefirst of January fell on Wednesday, or thatE was the Sunday letter of the year; a criterion which does not agree to the year 51 o, but does agree to the year 514, which is there- fore most probably the true date of this bishop’s death; and so Roderic O’Flaherty has correctly dated this entry in the MS. of Tighernach’s Annals, preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin (H. 1, 18).
