# 546. Cerbhala O'Davoren's glossary
Cerbhala .i. cogad, ut est
: Bad gresach fri hurna[igthe],
: a tratha nisn-dermana,
: a menma don-airbera [donairbere E.],
: cin uaill ocus ceruala.
cerbala, i.e. warfare, ut est ‘Let him be constant at prayer: his (canonical) hours he should not forget them: his mind should lower it, without pride and contention’.
– Stokes
Comment by Stokes: “The quotation is from a poem in the Brussels MS. 5100-25, K. Meyer Contribb, where donnairbera is glossed by ro toirne.” The passage quoted is st. 16 in Ríagol Ailbi Imlecha, ed. Joseph O'Neill, ‘The rule of Ailbe of Emly’, Ériu 3 (1907): 98–99. See <DIL s.v. ‘?cerbala’>.
