Das lange Poem, von Mac Cosse und zwar im Jahre 982 (siehe Vers 34 u. 36) verfasst, dessen einleitendes Gebet A Dé dúlig adateoch &c. ich im ersten Bande dieser Zeitschrift auf S. 497 abgedruckt habe. Es enthält zunächst den versifizierten Psalmenkommentar, aus dem ebenda schon einiges mitgeteilt ist. Ich lasse ihn hier vollständig folgen:

A Dé dúlig adateoch/ Cethrur do-raega ní dalb ^{Commentary on the Psalms by Airbertach mac Cosse}

A Dé dúlig adateoch, is tú mo rúinid co rath, rim-sa ní rosoa do drech, úair is tú mo breth cen brath.
