At Kilgravane, nxs m&<u Lu;gu"oec& nuico niAcom. Here 

 ttiguxtec^ is certainly the feminine of Lugti'oeccA.-p in the nomina- 

 tive. I translate " (The titulus) of my son. L. daughter of M. (placed 

 it)." 



At Kilgravane, cu&L^ni mucoi cunee. 



At Claragh, u^re^^m mucoi m&c|necce. 



At Monataggart, pecjpeq mo<]oi glunLe^er, (this last, on ac- 

 count of the forms of the words, and the peculiar character of the 

 writing, to he considered of much later date than the others), we have 

 the formula " The titulus) of A.'s daughter B.," as in the Llanfaglan 

 inscription, fili xoverni axatehori. " Of L.'s son A." 



At Ballymoreagh, gemhoci m&<\\ m&<|i Ainw nmc , "Of 



Q v grandson of Aina, daughter of ." 



At Whitefield, noc&ci m&cp niAc]ipec(ce) m&<n mucoi u'coahh. 

 "Of K". son of M., son of XL's daughter." 



At Ballintaggart, necc&L&rm m&cjc&o'oe m&<jc|i mucoi 'oonor.- 

 " Of K (son) of M. son of D.'s daughter." 



I understand m&cppecce = mucoi uxmAim. 

 iii4.t|CAO , oe = mucoi "oopor. 



To be compared with this are octn^i m&cppice at Deelish, and 

 ocm.&<|i he in the Cork Institute, from Tullig. 



So also at Ballintaggart again, m&<}<n p&pM&i m&c]<u mucoi 

 •oopp 111 &r, where the actual name of the deceased is suppressed, 

 Paria (whose name is in the genitive), is daughter of D. 



On the Llandawke monument the complete legend was (as I be- 

 lieve), m&cp mucoi humeteoon&r, equally suppressing the name of 

 the deceased. 



At Bridell we have clearly necc&pAgpu m&<p mucoi ppeci. 

 " (The titulus) of K son of F.'s daughter." 



At Dunmore, the monument, which reads epc m&<ji m&<]i epci&p 

 on the left, has mms "OopiniA on the right. This seems to correspond 

 exactly to evali feli dencut cunovexde mater eius (pose/it) ; for &iu 

 is "mother." — (Sanas Chormaic, 4, 17). 



Titulus is never expressed (except under the conventional form, 

 hic jacit, in a few instances,) on these British monuments ; nor does 

 it seem to have been expressed on the more ancient Irish monuments. 

 There is one which reads 



cxgenu m&<\ mucoi c]|ucn, Greenhill, Cork. 



where I think cc is an abbreviation of this word. 



There are also about ten which have Mini = nomen ; and that this 

 is the equivalent of titulus will appear from comparison of the inscription 

 at Tullylease, qincumquAe hunc cicutum tejenic op&c ppo 

 c>epechcuine, with that at Gwnnws in S. Wales, lately decyphered 

 by Mr. Rhys, viuicum<-|ue expbc&uepic hoc nomen vex: bene-
