Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 512/II (ff. 53-75)
context: Commentary to Félire Óengusso rubric: amail ro tairngir Fercertni fili Conrúi, dicens incipit: Geinfid brath ⁊rl Two stanzas corresponding to st. 14–15 of the present poem are found in the commentary, in the context of a note to Gregory’s feast-day (13 March). The way in which the verses are introduced, with their attribution to Ferchertne, suggest that they were taken from a poem like the present one. The stanza abbreviated to Geinfid brath seems unaccounted for, however, unless it stands in for Ticfa brāthair būada of st. 13.
