of Hebrew names, i) Bat while many definitions and
derivations tally with those given by Isidore, 2) others
differ. 3) Lastly it will have to be investigated whether
such derivations as that of ecloga from aiS, and Xoyog
(§ 561) and of episcopus^) from ijii, xai and «/?/?« are
Cormac's own or taken from older sources.

1) Cited as Hebraeicanum Hironitni in the preface to
O'Malconry's Glossary.
2) So § 72 = Isid.Vl2, 43; §99 (leg. aiíávag) =V38, 4;
§ 101 = VIII 11, 20-21; § 116 = XVI 4 ; § 167 = XVIII 21;
§ 223 = X 153; § 325 = V31,7; § 339 = XV 16, 9 (where for
Cormac's ferariim Isidore has pecudiim); § 352 = VII 12, 1 (where
Cormac's eledus corresponds to Isidore's de sorte); § 750 =
VII 1,15; §751 = VIII 11, 13; § 76S = 119,8 (where for Cor-
mac's intentio Isidore has concept'w); § 875 = X 182 (cf. II. 3. 18,
82b, where meritoriae tahernae comes from Isidore); § 890 =
XII 7, 69; § 1297 = X 115, so that we should read humo
[ad]cUnis.
3) Thus Cormac's derivation of apostolus (77) varies from
that given by Isidore (VII 9, 1); similarly that of frater (111),
cf. Isid. IX 6, 5, and of diluvium (480), cf. Isid. XIII 22, 1. While
Cormac §65 renders oQXÓq by 'excelsus', Isidore VII 5, 6 has
' princeps '.
