Sanas Cormaic XIX
of Hebrew names, i) But while many deflnitions and
derivations tally with those given by Isidore, 2) others
differ. 3) Lastly it will have to be investigated whether
such derivations as that of ecloga from alB, and Xoyoq
(§ 561) and of episcopus*) from ejti, xal and a^^a are
Cormac's own or taken from older sources.

O'Mulconry's Glossary.
2) So § 72 = Isld. VI 2, 43; § 99 (leg. aidJvag) = V 38, 4;
§ 101 = VIII 11, 20-21; § 116 = XVI 4; § 167 = XVIII 21;
§223 = X 153; §325 = V31,7; § 339 = XV 16, 9 (where for
Cormac's ferarum Isidore has peciidum); § 352 = VII 12, 1 (where
Cormac's eledus corresponds to Isidore's de sorte); § 750 =
VII 1,15; § 751 ^ VIII 11, 13; § 768 = II 9, 8 (where Vor "Cor-
mac's intentio Isidore has conceptio); § 875 = X 182 (cf. H. 3. 18,
82b, where meritoriae tabernae comes from Isidore); § 890 =
XII 7, 69; § 1297 = X 115, so that we should read himo
[ad]clinis.
3) Thus Cormac's derivation of apostolus (77) varies from
that given by Isidore (VII 9, 1); similarly that of frater (111),
cf. Isid. IX 6, 5, and of diluvium (480), cf. Isid. XIII 22, 1. While
Cormac §65 renders a^x^g by 'excelsus', Isidore VII 5, 6 has
'princeps'.

thus in LB p. 267 a 9: epscop A. eipi [.i.] for, cai abba .i. abba
pater, cai coDgrnnio (read congraimm 'conjunction' with Zimmer,
SitzuDgsber. 1909, S. 442).
