sions of the Epistles into chapters are also indicated by marginal nu- 
merals. 
It would require considerable time, patience, and research, even 
under the guidance of the erudite Denis, to analyze this admirable ma- 
nuscript in the detail that all who have hitherto noticed it concur in 
believing due to its value and importance. For the present, I am 
obliged to confine myself to this slender sketch, which I close now by 
giving the passages from the foot of folia 10, 17, 87, 141, and that at 
the end, by which the authorship is proved; presenting the correct 
reading of those, in Irish, on ff. 10, 87, and 141, which Denis has 
printed very erroneously ; and lastly, by giving the interlinear gloss, in 
which, at the end, the illustrious Marianus signs, in his mother tongue, 
his-native Christian and family name—a fact now for the first time 
noticed, a name now for the first time ascertained, after ages of oblivion. 
The words on the margin at the foot of fol. 10 are: — 
Sachapn cape mnochc pop x. Fl. Appl. anno vomini m.lzzunn. 
Maman mipepi oomine mipepene.* 
The words at the foot of fol. 17, Denis correctly prints, as follows :— 
CApcenpio Oomimi hoodie ui. non. mau anno vomini 
m.lzaznn. Mapianmi mpep oomine mipepepe.t 
But the Irish words at the foot of fol. 87 he has printed in the fol- 
lowing uncouth and inaccurate form :— 
feil comgaill in div fain didin. Aimpede filia 
tn dilgud domuirfo ae tros.t 
The words in the original being beautifully written (in what Denis 
calls Anglo-Saxon characters) as follows :— 
Feil comgaill mou pop din oloen. MU impede pop oia 
noilgud 0o muipeoaée cTNds.§ 
Again, Denis has printed the words at the foot of fo. 141 in a simi- 
larly mutilated shape, omitting also the year, which is written above 
the line; he read them as follows :— 
feil bfenain innoct fdardain Aimpede fdia in dilgud 
domurfo ac tros.|| 
* “Sabbatum Pasche in nocte x. KI. April, A.D. 1079.” This is printed and inter- 
preted in Zeuss, Gr. Celt. Preef., p. xxiv., note. 
+ Also given by Zeuss from Denis, ut supra. 
t Not noticed by Zeuss, who probably was deterred by Denis’ Coren reading. 
§ “ The festival of Comgall G. e. June 10) to-day, on Friday of Refuge. His entreaty 
of God for forgiveness to Muiredhach the miserable.” Here t6@ is the equivalent of 
miser. The 10th of June in 1079 fell on the seventh Friday after Easter. 
|| Also omitted by Zeuss, probably for the same reason as the last.
