_Ib._—Consecration of Auxilius and Iserninus.—The evidence for their consecration by Patrick is Tírechán, 331₃: _et ordinarit Auxilium puerum Patricii exorcistam et Eserninum et Mactaleum in Cellola Cuilinn_. It may be questioned whether the text is sound; there is certainly some mistake about Auxilius, who could not be described as _puer Patricii exorcista_, and it is not stated to what order they were ordained. In Tírechán’s list of bishops ordained by Patrick (304), Auxilius and Mactaleus appear, but not Iserninus. In the corresponding passage in the _Vit. Trip._ (186) nothing is said of ordaining (“he _left_ Auxilius in Killossy, and Iserninus and MaccTail in Kilcullen”). In the Add. Notices in _Lib. Arm._ (p. 342) it seems to be implied that Iserninus was already a bishop. See above, p. 310. P. 164.—Birth of Iserninus in Cliu (_Add. Notices_, p. 342). For the locality see Shearman, _Loca Patriciana_, p. 141 _note_. P. 165.—Fíacc. Memoranda in _Lib. Arm._ (_Trip._ 344); cp. Muirchu, 283. The story represents Fíacc as consecrated bishop _per saltum_. This may be an error. It is possible that he did not become a bishop till he went to Slébte, and that at Domnach Féicc he was in inferior orders. _Ib._—Domnach Féicc. Shearman, 186-8; the argument is at least plausible, that it lay in the region between Clonmore and Aghowle. He would fix it more precisely in the townland of Kilabeg. P. 170.—The liturgy used by Patrick. Compare Duchesne, _Origines du culte chrétien_, 3rd ed. (1903), chap. iii. p. 88 _sqq._ The _Antiphonary_ of Bangor is an example of a Gallican liturgy unmodified by Roman influence, and according to Dr. MacCarthy we have another in the oldest part of the Stowe missal (see above Appendix A, i. 3, _ad fin._). For Celtic liturgies see Warren, _Liturgy and Ritual of the Celtic Church_ (1881), the chief book on the subject. A _missa Patricii_ (mass of Patrick) is mentioned in Tírechán (322₁₉). I cannot say what attention should be paid to the statements about the Scottic liturgy in the _Cursus Romanus_ printed in Warren 77 _sqq._ (Haddan and Stubbs, _Councils_, i. 138). Cp. Ussher, _Brit. eccl. ant._ (_Works_, vi. p. 480). P. 176.—It is worth while to collect the notices of grants to Patrick and _free_ churches mentioned in the _Liber Armachanus_. Muirchu, 291₃₁, (Armagh) partem illam agri—do tibi nunc quantum habeo. Tírechán, 320₂₁ (Drummut Cerrigi) immolauerunt agrum et bona patris eorum Patricio. _Ib._ 309₃₀ (Endeus). _Ib._ 321₇, aeclessiam liberam; 330₂₉, sed libere semper. _Add. Notices_ 338 (offering of Caichán’s fifth: note _liberauit_ Deo et Patricio). _Ib._ 337, (sons of Conlaid offered) octo campi pondera id est uaccas campi octo (8 ballyboes) in hereditate sua ... Deo et Patricio in sempiterna saecula. _Ib._ 340₃₋₁₀;344₁. _Ib._ 335₂₋₆ (Trim.).
