^{Note 3 in page 910} The Irish Liber Hymnorum, edited by J. H. Bernard and R. Atkinson (London: Harrison and Sons, 1898), i, 100, the gloss to line 21. frigserat, in line 6, above, and in the edited source, should be fris·gerat.

^{Note 4 in page 910} Ibid., ii, 181.

^{Note 5 in page 910} Quoted in ibid., ii, 181. Obviously, the Latin version lacks line 2 of the Irish version, and supplies “Incantabit nefas.” If the equivalent of this expression should be supplied in the Irish version, the prophecy would possibly be restored to substantially its original form. But see K. Mulchrone, Bethu Phátraie, p. 22.

^{Note 6 in page 910} See Owen Connellan, editor, Ossianic Society Transactions, v (1860), 232, 234–236, for an edition and translation of these two poems. The poems attributed to Amorgen occur in various sources—Book of Ballymote, Book of Leinster, Book of Lecan, Bodleian MS Laud 610. A most useful edition of the two poems mentioned is to be found in R. Thurneysen, Mittelirische Verslehren, in Irische Texte, iii, 35–36, 61–62. Thurneysen furnishes, side by side, the versions from Book of Ballymote, Book of Leinster, and Laud 610. The attributions to Amorgen occur in the sources.

^{Note 7 in page 911} For an edition and translation of this prayer, see Kuno Meyer, Miscellanea Hibernica, University of Illinois Studies in Language and Literature, ii, no. 4 (1916), 19–21. The attribution occurs in the source.
