45. As applied to contemporaries, the quasi-siirnames in moccu become 

 obsolete in the eighth century. The latest instance I have found is that of 

 Luccreth moccu Ciara, the author of a poem commencing Gu-cen-mdtJiair 

 maith in cJiland, which is found with the Eoganacht genealogy in the Books of 

 Ballymote and Lecan and in Eawlinson B 502. From internal evidence this 

 poem appears to have been composed early in the eighth centixry. In the 

 Book of Leinster and later documents moccu is misunderstood as an equivalent 

 of maec ]iui,filius nepoHs, and commonly represented by mc. h., m. h., mace ua, etc.
