Most of the individuals referred to in the above Index are Poets 

 (fileadha). The following families were Historians [seanchaidh) by profes- 

 sion: — MacBruaideadha, '0 Oianain (§ 60), '0 Cleirigh, '0 Duibhgeannain, 

 Mac Firbhisigh, '0 Luinin, and '0 Maoilchonaire. In English documents 

 the term " rimers " is sometimes applied to historians as well as to poets. 

 Irish historians not infrequently composed in verse, and the distinction 

 between the file and the seancha was not very tightly drawn. References 

 to Judges or " brehons " (jbreitlieamhaiii) will be found under the following 

 families: — Mac Aodhagain, '0 Breisleain, '0 Cleirigh (§ 53), MagFhlann- 

 ehadha, and MacEodain.
