402 CORNISH DEDICATIONS. 



only occurred in old deeds, but had survived to modern times 

 under the form of S* Tane." The form of the name as given in 

 deeds will be seen by reference to S, Adwen. 



There is not sufficient evidence that S. Tathan had a cult in 

 Cornwall to justify a "Life" here. The Latin Life is to be 

 found in Eees " Lives of the Cambro British Saints." 



His day is December 26. 



8. Teath, Virgin Abbess. 



In the Visitation of 1539, for the taking of an Inventory of 

 Church Goods, St. Teath is given as S. Etha. In like manner 8. 

 Ebb has been converted into S. Tebb. {See 8. Itha.) 



8. Teilo, Abbot, Bishop, Confessor. 



One of the stalls of the Cathedral Chapter of Truro is 

 named after S. Teilo. This was due to a curious blunder made 

 by Mr. Copeland Borlase, who built up an elaborate structure of 

 argument on very uncertain foundations. He assumed that S. 

 Eilius was the same as S. Issey, relying on an error made by Dr. 

 Oliver, that has since been corrected by Prebendary Hingeston 

 Randolph. That done, the whole superstructure falls to the 

 ground. Mr. Borlase not only identilied 8. Issey with 8. Teilo 

 and 8. Filius, but also tortured S. Endelienta into Teilo, making 

 her change her sex, a Christian Tiresias. 



The only dedication to 8. Teilo in Cornwall is a ruined 

 chapel of 8. Dillo in Buryan parish. 



To give 8. Teilo' s life and do it justice would require much 

 space, more than is justified for one whose connection with 

 Cornwall is doubtful. 



His day is February 9. 



His Life is in the Liber Landavensis, and in Vie de 8. 

 Theliau d' apres le Livre de Llandaff, par. J. Loth, Eennes 1894.
