 site Cuind .c. cathaidh, is written by Ussher, " al. Cuind Cedcathi,"

 Codex Kilkenniensis, a life of the saint substantially the same as the 

 present, f 



This is Aedh mac Brie, of Killare, vulgarly called St. Hugh Breaky, 

 whose day is variously placed at the 28th of February, the 4th of 

 May, and the 10th of November.:}: Colgan has adopted the first, but 

 the last is preferable.
