154 Mr. PETEIE'S Inquiry into the Origin and 



"A. D. 1126. Ecclesia lapidea Cathedralis Ccemeterii Pauli et' Petri, quam aedificavit Imar 

 'O'Aedhacan, consecrata a Celso Vicario Patricii, xii Kalend. Novemb." 



Thus in the Annals of the Four Masters : 



" A. D. 1126. t)aimliacc pejlepa poll 7 peoaip i n-Gpomacha, DO ponnao la h-lmap Ua 

 n-Qeoacam DO coippeccao la Ceallach, coriiapba pacpaicc, an rij. Kal. DO Nouembep." 



Thus translated by Dr. O'Conor : 



" A. D. 11 26. Ecclesia lapidea Coemeterii Pauli et Petri in Ardmacha, quse sedificata est per 

 Imarum O'Edacan, consecrata per Celsum Vicarium Patricii, xii Kal. Novembris." 



And thus by Colgan : 



" A. D. 1 126. Basilica SS. Petri $ Pauli Ardmackcr? extructa per B. Imarum Hua Hoedhagain, 

 consecrata est per S. Celsum ArchiepiscopumArdmachanum 12. Calend.Nouemb." Trias Thaum. p. 300. 



Thus again in the record of the death of Malachy O'Morgair, the predecessor 

 of Gelasius, in the Annals of the Four Masters, at the year 1148, it is particu- 

 larly stated, not only that he founded and consecrated churches, churchyards, 

 and monasteries, but also that he repaired many churches that had been for a 

 long period in a state of ruin and desolation.

Thus translated by Dr. O'Conor, who has mistaken the meaning of the most 

 important part of the passage, as marked in Italics : 



"A. D. 1148. Malachias, i. e. Maolmaedogus O'Morgar, Archiepiscopus Cathedrae Patricii, 

 supremus Pastor Occidentalis Europae, Legatus Vicarii Petri, Unicus cui parebant Hiberni et
