Footnote 634: 985 (_recte_ 986) _Maolciarain Ua Maighne Comharba Coluimcille do dul i ndergmhartra las na Danaraibh i nAthcliath._—_An. F.

Th._, p. 446. Though this appears in Colgan’s Latin version of Magnus O’Donnel’s _Life of St. Columba_, it is not to be found in the Irish text. Footnote 637: _Amra Coluimcille_, by O’Byrne Crowe, p. 39. Footnote 638: _Chron. Picts and Scots_, p. 81. Footnote 639: _Annals of the Four Masters_, p. 1027. Among the relics said to have been preserved at Durham we find ‘De ossibus et reliquiis Sancti Columkelli abbatis. De ossibus Sanctæ Brigidæ gloriosæ virginis. De ossibus et reliquiis Sancti Patricii episcopi et Hyberniæ apostoli.’—_Hist. Dun. Script._ Tres, p. cccxxx. These are obviously the same relics which were said to be at Down, but how they came to be claimed by the coärbs of Durham we cannot tell.

Ult._ Footnote 644: 1025 Flannobra _Comharba Ia_ in Christo quievit.—_An. Ult._ In the _Annals of the Four Masters_ he is called _Comharba Ia Cholumcille_, and the death of Maeleoin Ua Torain, _Comharba Doire Cholumcille_, follows, which shows the division of the coärbship of Columcille at this time.
