Doubtless the wife of the writer of this epitaph. 



HIC IACET 1IVLIER BONA NOBILI. 



" The good wife of Nobilis." 



HIC (iN PA)CE MVL(lER) REQVIEVIT — N — CVNANDE HIC IN TVMVXO IACIT. 



■<■ ' Here rested in peace the wife of . Cunande here lies in the 



tomb."

Once a mother : — 



EVALI PHI DENCVI CVNOVENDE MATES, EIVS. 



In other instances the name of a woman occurs without specifica- 

 tion of kindred : — 



AODTVNE. 



— ORIA IC IACIT. 



In the Tregoney inscription, nonnita and erciliai appear to be 

 feminine names. The latter is in the genitive, agreeing with rigati, 

 and the former doubtless ought to be. 



Thus we have the following : — 



Ercilia, Nonnita, Potenina, — oria, Velvo(ria), 

 Aodiune, Caune, Cunande, Cunovende, Etorwite, Rostece. 



Now what do the Ogham legends give us ? 

 The lost inscription at Llanclyssul was : — 



DECA BARBALONI FILIVS BROCAGNI. 



" D. (daughter) of B. (He was) son of B." 



The Ogham legend was in the genitive, "oeccM bAp^^toni. 

 " (The titulus) of D. (daughter) of B." 



At Caldey, m&gutite b/ypcern. M. (daughter) of B. 



At Llanwinio, biadi aei bogi beve. " (The titulus) of B., grand- 

 son of B. B. (placed it)." To this correspond, on the the left hand, 

 &rp boci bnvoi " (The titulus) of B.'s grandson B." ; on the right, 

 heyp(e), the name of the mother or grandmother. 



Comparing these with the Irish inscriptions, we have the simple 

 name cunocen&, the feminine of ctm&cenm, on one of the stones 

 in the rath of Dunloe. 



rtui'0'O0"pp& m &<]<]& &c, above noticed. 



At Ballyquin, c&c&b/yp moco ppicopb. " C. daughter of F.," 

 where the inflexion of the father's name is suppressed.
