 138 ba. Fol. 137 has been cut out, 



" Albeus episeopus viroruni mumenentium pater beatissimus et tocius hybernie 

 insule post sanctum patriciuni secundus patronus ex orientali parte regionis elyach 

 pater olcnais [mater] Sandith." 



Opposite Sandith, TJssher has written in the margin, " al. MS. 

 Sanctit."* Sant is the name in the Irish Calendar. In the margin of 

 fol. 130 ab is written, " 12 Colmani, 12 Coemgenii, 12 Fintani." In 

 fol. 138 ah there is an Irish rann or stanza, with an interlinear Latin 

 translation in very minute writing, hut prima mami. It is exactly the 

 same, hut more distinct, in the T. C. D. manuscript, E. 3. 11, fol. 135 

 aa, as follows : —
