Nun folgen ohne Absatz die schon aus dem Palatinus Nr. 830 bekannten Verse über die Erschaffung Adams, 1 wie Vers 40 angiebt, von Airbertach Mac Cosse aus dem Lateinischen ins Irische übersetzt. Nach Olden's Untersuchungen 2 war Mac Cosse im letzten Drittel des 10. Jahrhunderts an der Klosterschule von Ross Ailithir, jetzt Ross Carbery im Südwesten der Grafschaft Cork, als fer légind thätig. Der Schreiber, welcher im p.23 Jahre 1072—73 diese Verse auf fo. 38a des Palatinus an den Rand geschrieben hat, 3 war gewiss, wie die andern Schreiber desselben Kodex, ein Südire und hat vielleicht in Ross Ailithir seine Bildung erhalten.
