^{Page 52 of note 2} The name O Sínachan is plainly written with the mark of a long syllable over the letter i on f. 2 ^υ of the Corpus missal. The Four Masters are known to have been some what careless in their transcription of earlier names from the Old Irish texts which they used when compiling their annals in the early seventeenth century; and they seem to have read this name as having the long stroke over the letter n, thus reading the name as O Sinnachain.

^{Page 61 of note 2} The entry, which is plainly very old, reads as follows: ‘Commotatio martirum Petir ocus Phoil ocus Phatraicc ad legem perficiendam.’ W. Reeves, in his edition of Adamnan’s Life of St Columba, Dublin 1857, 313, n. c, interprets the phrase commotatio martirum as meaning the disinterring and enshrining of the relics.
