Commentary

This is one of the inscriptions listed by McManus (1991, 93-4) to be among the earliest in the corpus showing no trace of vowel affection. It may be dated to the first half, or the early second half, of the fifth century (McManus 1991, 97).

The father's name CATTINI (later Caitne) likewise occurs as the father's name in an inscription found at Ballinrannig (CIIC 153), a site also located in Corca Dhuibhne territory.
