Adamnan, B. ii. c. 46. Boece states that the monastery was rebuilt by Maelduin, king of Dalriada, whose death is recorded by Tighernac in 690. He therefore reigned at the very time when Adamnan was abbot, and this fixes the date of these repairs as between 687 and 690. Footnote 341: Bede, _Hist. Ec._, B. v. c. 15. Reeves’s _Adamnan_, ed. 1874, p. clxi. Footnote 342: Bede, _Hist. Ec._, B. v. c. 15. Footnote 343: _Ib._ c. 21.

Footnote 347: A.D. 704 Adamnanus lxxvii anno ætatis suæ, in nonas kalendis Octobris, abbas Ie, pausat.—_Tigh._ Footnote 348: See Adamnan, Pref. i. and B. i. c. 3. Dr. Reeves considers that it was written between the years 692 and 697, but it was more probably compiled immediately after his return from England in 688, and before his visit to Ireland in 692. Footnote 349: ‘Inchekethe, in qua præfuit Sanctus Adamnanus abbas.’—_Scotichronicon_, B. i. c. 6. Footnote 350: A.D. 707 Dunchadh principatum Iae tenuit.—_Tigh._ 710 Conmael mac abbatis Cilledara Iae pausat.—_Tigh._ 712 Ceode episcopus Iea pausat.—_Tigh._ 713 Dorbeni cathedram Iae obtinuit, et v. mensibus peractis in primatu v kalendis Novembris die Sabbati obiit.—_Tigh._ The 28th day of October fell on a Saturday in the year 713.

Volocus is the Latin form of Faelchu, as Vigeanus is of Fechin, Vynanus of Finan, and Virgilius of Fergal. [Illustration: MAP illustrating History of MONASTIC CHURCH prior to 8^{th}. Century _J.
