lu " Anecdota from Irish Manuscripts," vol. ii, p. 45, iu a list of stories, is 

 mentioned, " Aitlii Euithceirne la Cua;ia mac Cailcin."

Cuanu mac Cailchin ri Fernmiiighe (sic) .i. Laech Liathmune, mortuus 

 est. (For " Fernmuighe ", read " Fermuiglie ", and for " Farney ", " Fermoy." 

 AT. 642 ? AI. 638, FiL 640. 



It is remarkable that the last year for which AU. quotes the authority of 

 "The Book of Cuanu " is the same year to which Tigheamach assigns the 

 death of our Cuanu's father. If our Cuanu was identical with the author 

 of " Liber Cuanach," he appears to have desisted from his scholarly work 

 when he became king. Xote also how the three poets praise Cuanu in the 

 poem on his death, which shows that he had been a patron of literature.
