[390] So I would amend the corrupt _metuendis_. Ellis reads _tetricis_, and suggests _mediis_. But there is greater point in _nudis_; it implies “without the crops, etc., which would naturally attract an enemy.” [391] P. 18. [392] Pp. 16-18, and Appendix B. [393] Cp. Arrian’s _Cynegeticus_, esp. chaps. 1, 2, 3. [394] The nature of the cargo is another argument against the view that Britain was the destination. [395] _Annis_ xxx. Tír. _loc. cit._ The numeral is less probably a mistake for iii. than the result of a mistaken attempt to account for the chronology of Patrick’s life on the hypothesis that he lived to the age of 120. Other schemes assigned 30 or 40 years to the Auxerre period (Muirchu, 271₂₂). [396] For the traditions and legends connecting Palladius with Scotland see Skene, _Celtic Scotland_, ii. 29 _sqq._ [397] Schoell, _De ecclesiasticae Britonum Scotorumque historiae fontibus_, 1851, p. 77; Loofs, _De antiqua Britonum Scotorumque ecclesia_, p. 51 (1882). Compare B. Robert’s criticisms on their arguments, _Étude critique_, etc., pp. 28 _sqq._ [398] Professor Zimmer (_Early Celtic Church_, p. 38) regards Palladius as a Roman rendering of Patrick’s name Sucatus (warlike), following a suggestion of Mr. O’Brien (_Irish. Eccl. Record_, 1887, pp. 723 _sqq._). This is quite unconvincing, in the absence of any evidence that Palladius was a Briton. Why should he not have belonged to the _stirps Palladiorum_ of Bourges (Apoll. Sidon. _Epp._ vii. 9, 24)? Cp. Duchesne, _Fastes épisc._ ii. p. 26, _note_. [399] P. cxxv. ed. Stokes (1871). This calendar, Mr. Stokes has shown, cannot be earlier than the end of the tenth century. [400] The name of Palladius does not appear in any Irish calendar of saints. It appears under July 6 in the Breviary of Aberdeen. See Todd, _St. Patrick_, p. 299. [401] Cp. _Chron. Scot._ pp. 24-25; Cormac’s _Glossary_ sub _Mogheime_. [402] M. d’Arbois de Jubainville has a note on Sen Patrick in _Revue celtique_, ix. p. 111 _sqq._ He thinks a second Patricius came over to Ireland as a mere name in a copy of the Hieronymian Martyrology towards end of sixth century; and that of him were made the two Patricks of August 24 in _Mart. of Tallaght_. [403] See Bury, “Tradition of Muirchu’s Text,” p. 205. [404] The name of this place, whether in the form _Ebmoria_ (_Lib. Arm._) or in the variant form _Euboria_ (for the variants see Bury, “Tradition of Muirchu’s Text,” p. 185) is unknown. The context shows that it lay between Auxerre and the north coast of Gaul. Ebroica = Evreux would be my guess. (It probably became the seat of a bishop before the end of the fifth century, but probably not long before. Cp. Duchesne, _Fastes ép._ ii. 226). [405] On the evidence for this date see _note_ 15 in my “Sources of Early Patrician Documents” (_E.H.R._, July 1904), where I refer to the discussion of Dr. W. Levison in his monograph cited above, Appendix A, i. 7.
