'The litanies were written by Faelan Mac a Gobhann whose death in 1423 is recorded in AFM 4, AD 858, and who is called an expert historian.' The note at the end of this section reads: 'Faelan mac a Gabann na scel do scrib in catoirrni seo da thigerrna carad companaig .i. don easpog hua Cheallaig .i. Muircertach.'
8. Brussels, Bibliothèque Royale, MS 5100, 17th century, one of the O'Clery's MSS. Contents given by Stokes in his edition of the Martyrology of O'Gorman. Litanies are copied from the Lebar Ruad Muimnech.

10. Brussels, Bibliothèque Royale, MS 4190, 17th century, one of the O'Clery's MSS. Litanies were copied by O'Clery in Dublin from a vellum book borrowed from priest Nicholas O Cathasaig, and written by Gillaglas O'Huiginn in 1471.
