Between the diocese of Lindisfarne and the Western Sea lay that of Glasgow, or Strathclyde, now freed from the yoke of the Angles and under an independent bishop; but the district of Galloway was still under the rule of the Angles of Northumbria, and here the church of Ninian appears to have been revived under an Anglic bishop some few years before Bede terminates his History. By the increased number of believers Bede no doubt means those of the Anglic nation who had settled there. The line of the Anglic bishops was kept up here for upwards of sixty years, during which five bishops filled the see; and, when King Eadberct added the plain of Kyle and other regions to his kingdom, they would become more firmly seated. It was probably at this time that the veneration of Cudberct and Osuald was extended into Ayrshire, where there are numerous dedications; but soon afterwards the power of the Angles began to wane, and the Anglic diocese of Candida Casa, or Whithern—owing, according to William of Malmesbury, to the ravages of the Scots or Picts—came to an end in the person of Beadulf, its last bishop, who lived to about 803.[430] In other words, the disorganisation of the Northumbrian kingdom at this time and the decrease of its power enabled the native population to eject the strangers and assert their independence. ----- Footnote 355: The life by Jocelyn is printed in Pinkerton’s _Vitæ Sanctorum_, but very inaccurately. The fragment was first printed in the Glasgow Chartulary; but both have been re-edited with a translation by the late Bishop of Brechin, in his Life of Saint Ninian and Saint Kentigern, forming the fifth volume of the _Historians of Scotland_. Footnote 356: This sentence would be in modern Gaelic, _A Dhia gur fior sin_, and means, ‘O God, that that might be true.’ Footnote 357: _Vit. Anon. S. Kent._, cc. i. ii. iii. iv. v. Footnote 358: In this narrative Servanus speaks a mongrel language. _Mochohe_ seems a Gaelic form, as the prefix _Mo_ appears in the Gaelic interjections, as _Mo thruaigh!_—woe’s me! and _Chohe_ is probably meant for _Oche, Ochon!_—alas! well-a-day! but ‘Capitalis Dominus’ is only applicable to the Welsh form of his name. Cyndeyrn and Munghu are pure Welsh—_Cyndeyrn_ from _Cyn_, chief, _teyrn_, lord. _Mwyngu_ from _Mwyn_, amiable; _Cu_, dear. Footnote 359: Jocelyn, _Vit. S. Kent._, cc. i. ii. iii. iv. Footnote 360: The Breviary of Aberdeen attempts to get over the difficulty by supposing two Servanuses—one the disciple of Palladius, the other the Servanus of the life; but this does not help matters much, as it involves the improbability of both having founded Culenros, and both dying on the same day, the 1st of July. Footnote 361: _Four Ancient Books of Wales_, vol. ii. p. 457. It is possible that the epithet Garthwys may be the word Jocelyn has converted into Cathures. Footnote 362: _Myvyrian Archæology_, vol. ii. p. 34. Footnote 363:
