Radner, Fragmentary Annals of Ireland (Dublin 1978)) is an extract and the Annals in Egerton 1782 are closely related and may derive, in part at least from the lost Annals of Clonenagh. There is another version of the story of Guaire and the widow (part of the entry for 649)
in London, British Libary, Harleian 5280, 25b and in Dublin, Trinity College Library, H. 3. 18, p. 48b). The first (with variant readings
from the second) is edited by Kuno Meyer, Neue Mitteilungen aus irischen Handschriften, in Whitley Stokes and Kuno Meyer (ed), Archiv

Editorial Declaration
Correction
Text has been thoroughly checked, proof-read and parsed using NSGMLS.
Normalization
The editor presents his text with manuscript punctuation and capitalisation: these have been regularised in accordance with modern
scholarly conventions. Words and names have been segmented in accordance with CELT practice.
Quotation
There are no quotation marks in the printed edition. In the electronic edition, direct speech has been tagged q.
Hyphenation
Soft hyphens have been removed and have not been marked. Hyphenation marks the segmentation of words in accordance with CELT
practice.
Segmentation
div0= the whole volume. div1= the annal; div2= the individual entry in a given annal. Each annal is given a unique identity number with the corpus of Irish annals. Passages in verse are marked as embedded text and metrical lines are
marked.
Interpretation
Names of persons (given names), groups, and places are tagged. Roles (bard, bishop, bodyguard, coarb, druid, foster-father, foster-mother, historian, jester, king, poet, porter, prophet, sage, saint, scholar, steward, student, swineherd), institutions (abbacy, assembly), social events (cannibalism, mortality, plague,), military equipment (armour, castle, fortress), cultural artifacts (poetry, satire) are tagged.
