Article V. —St. Cathbadh or Cathbath. We find in the Martyr-
1
ology of Tallagh, Cathbadh's name, at the istof July. It is to be regretted,
that ecclesiastical and religious persons, whose opportunities or position enabled them to record passing events, wanted either the taste or inclination, to preserve reminiscences and edifying accounts of those, with whom they had been intimately associated. Owing to such omissions, no doubt, posterity has lost a knowledge of this holy man's place and age, as in many similar
2
cases. There is a notice of St. Cathladius, in Jocelyn's Life of St. Patrick. 3
He is said to have been a pilgrim and of British race. He was the third
Bishop of Ath-Truim or Trim, in succession to St. Loman or Luman,*
appointed by St. Patrick himself, and to St. Fortchern. s Now, Colgan thinks, that Cathladius was probably the same person as Cathfadius, whose Natalis has been placed in the Irish Martyrologies, at the ist of July, or at the 16th of September. The Bollandists,6 who record Cathfadius at the ist of July,' do not forget to state, that Sirinus has suggested Cathbadius for Cathfadius.

The
Martyrology
of x Tallagh
enters the name of Lugidius, son of Lugeus, as having veneration paid him,
at the 1st of July. Thus was he distinguished, at an early period of our
ecclesiastical history, among his contemporaries. Marianus O'Gorman has a similar notice in his Martyrology, at this day. Cathal Maguire agrees in the paternity, and he adds, that the present holy man was Bishop of Cluain- camaint. It is now difficult to this ancient
identify
who notice Lugidius films Lugei at the 1st of July, state, that Cluain-camaint
was unknown to them, but they suggest, that a Cluaid-camhain is mentioned in the Annals of Donegal, at the year 1089. Where they obtained such infor- mation is not apparent to us. 3 Lughaidh, son of Lughaidh, is the entry of the O'Clerys, in the Martyrology of Donegal/ at this date.

No less than eighteen, bearing the same name, are to be found in theMartyrologyofDonegal/ TherearesomepropheticalPoems5 extant, and ascribed to Ultan, of Leitrim.

have Sillinus or Sinellus, and the Martyrology of Donegal,3 Sineall, at the 1st of July. In the Table appended to this latter record, his festival is incor-
