CORC OG O CADHLA
I was accompted servus inultis^ But though
accounted an unuseful servant, Sidney had made
his impression on the Irish of the time, and it
remained in after ages. Sir John Perrot was sub-
jected to a similar humiliation before the reign
ended.
The entry at folio 157b was unfortunately
never completed. It runs thus :
Tairnic annsin an 6 partigul do thoil Christ an
28 la do mhi Augustus. Agus a Lis Aillecain do
crichnaighid agus a dtoigh na Ronna do
tinds^nadh.

TRANSLATION
There hath finished the sixth Particle, by the
will of Christ, the twenty-eighth day of the month
of August. And in Lissaligan it has been com-
pleted, and in Tinnaranny it was begun.
Great events with {breaks off).
Lissaligan here mentioned is in the County of
Carlow. Fiant of Elizabeth No. 1477, which
has the following notices, helps to identify and
locate it :
Pardon to Barnaby or Bryen m'Cahyr m'Art
Kevanagh, of Knocken, County Carlow.
Art m'Cahyr m'Art Kevanagh, of
Ballybrenagh, and
Cahyr m'Moriertagh Kevanagh, of
Cowrynellan, same county, gentlemen.
