_Ib._ B. ii. cc. 41-46. Footnote 194: Sanctus sedens in tuguriolo tabulis suffulto.—B. i. c. 19. Duo vero viri, qui eadem hora ejus tugurioli ad januam stabant, quod in eminentiore loco erat fabricatum.—B. iii. c. 23. Footnote 195: See Reeves’s _Adamnan_, Ed. 1874, App. i. p. 318, for a fuller account of these remains. Footnote 196: _Ib._ B. iii. c. 24, p. 97. Footnote 197: Reeves’s _Adamnan_, p. 33. The site of this cell must have been close to where the present house called Clachanach stands, and the remains of the cross which stood here were found behind the barn. Footnote 198: Adamnan, _Vit. S. Col._, B. i. c. 24. Footnote 199: Et cum forte post nonam cœpisset horam in refectorio eulogiam frangere, ocius deserit mensulam, unoque in pæde inherente calceo et altero pro nimia festinatione relicto festinanter pergit hac cum voce ad ecclesiam.—_Ib._ B. ii. c. 12. Footnote 200: _Lib. Hymn._, part ii. p. 220. Mr. Hennessy suggests that the syllable _Blath_ here stands for Blad, a portion, fragment, partition, division, which is also written _Blod_, _Blag_, _Blog_, and by O’Clery in his glossary _Bladh_, who explains it by _rann no cuid do ni_, a portion, or share, of a thing. That _Moel_, or _Mael_, when applied to a stone means a flat-surfaced stone, which exactly answers the description of the boulder. He thinks _Moelblath_ may be fairly rendered ‘the flat stone of division.’ Footnote 201: In the introduction to Dr. Reeves’s _Adamnan_, ed. 1874, will be found a most elaborate and exhaustive account of the constitution, discipline, and economy of the community at Iona, to which the reader is referred for the authorities of the above short sketch. A more important contribution was never made to the church history of Scotland than this work, which, for accuracy, critical judgment and thoroughness, is unsurpassed; and a constant reference to it must be understood in all that relates to Iona. Footnote 202: Adamnan, B. i. c. 27; B. ii. c. 33; B. iii. c. 15. Footnote 203: Adamnan, B. i. 8; B. ii. 9, 23. Footnote 204: _Ib._ B. ii. cc. 20, 38. Footnote 205: This appears to be the best solution of the discrepancy between the statements of Adamnan and Bede. Adamnan and all the Irish authorities place the arrival of Saint Columba in Britain in 563, but Bede distinctly places it in 565. Adamnan states that he lived thirty-four years in the island, while Bede says that he died at the age of seventy-seven, having preached in Britain thirty-two years. Bede, however, connects his mission entirely with the Picts, and places it in the ninth year of King Brude. The one, therefore, probably dates from the arrival in Iona, the other from the conversion of Brude. Footnote 206:
