Dublin, Royal Irish Academy, MS 23 P 16
rubric: Pais Cristifir in Choncinn .vii. .kl- mai incipit: [B]ai ingreim mor forsna Cristaidib i n-aimsir Dhéc i h-imper[?] The first heading and the beginning of the text on p. 278a (“Pais Cristifir in Chonchinn vii .kl- mai”) are followed, not by our passion, but by a background story about saint’s name, his master, the story of Christopher carrying the Christ child, etc. (not printed by Fraser). The top of the right column is damaged, making the text partly illegible. Further down on p. 278b, the heading and beginning of the text are repeated and the legend proper begins. The text ends imperfect.
pp. 278a.i–280a.m
