atience, docility, sobriety, well-spokenness; for every patient person is wise, and every docile person is a sage, every sober person is generous, every well-spoken person is tractable. 252. Four elements[124] of folly: silliness, bias, wrangling, foulmouthedness. [124] Literally, 'alphabets.' 253. Three tabus of a chief: an ale-house without story-telling, a troop without a herald, a great company without wolfhounds.[125] [125] This triad has been wrongly read (fais_cre_ instead of fais_n_e_is_) and rendered by O'Grady in his Catalogue of Ir. mss. in the British Museum, p. 91. 254. Three indications of dignity in a person: a fine figure, a free bearing, eloquence. 255. Three coffers whose depth is not known: the coffer of a chieftain, of the Church,[126] of a privileged poet. [126] "Die Kirche hat einen guten Magen," Goethe, Faust. 256. Three debts which must not be neglected:[127] debts of land, payment of a field, instruction (?) of poetry. [127] 'Which do not die by neglect,' M. GLOSSES AND NOTES 1.

This refers to the curse pronounced by Ruadan, the founder of Lorrha, against King Diarmait and Tara. 22. .i. cairedh inte. St. Feichin, the founder of Fore, was famous for the austerity of his devotion.
