  4. Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 512, 15th/16th century. Litanies occur in a section of the MS 'which is all in one hand, and comprises numbers 13B–24 in Stokes' list; but there is no scribal note to indicate its origin.'

The note at the end of this section reads: 'Faelan mac a Gabann na scel do scrib in catoirrni seo da thigerrna carad companaig .i. don easpog hua Cheallaig .i. Muircertach.'
  8. Brussels, Bibliothèque Royale, MS 5100, 17th century, one of the O'Clery's MSS. Contents given by Stokes in his edition of the Martyrology of O'Gorman. Litanies are copied from the Lebar Ruad Muimnech.
