APPENDIX D. SEPULCHRAL CHRISTIAN INSCRIPTIONS IN THE ISLE OF MAN. Christian inscriptions in the Isle of Man are wholly Runic and of Norwegian date and origin, although abounding, says Professor Munch, in "grammatical errors," which arise no doubt from a strong admixture of Celtic elements, while "perhaps one half of the names occurring in them" are not Norwegian but Gaelic. The following list is from Professor Munch's notes to his edition of the Chron. Manniæ (Christiania, 1860, pp. xx-xxiv.); the first two, marked A, being of a different character, and "perhaps even of a different period," from those marked B. The transliteration, and the translation, are those of Professor Munch, aided by Messrs. Cumming and Worsaae. A. 1.

On a fragment of a cross at Kirk Onchan : ITRA ES LAIFA FUSTRA CVPAN SVN ILAN [the first two words unintelligible; the third, LAIFA, probably the accusative case of LEIFI, a proper name; the last four words educatorem bonum, filium malum].

A.-Veniens ergo (Turgotus) sic consecratus Scotiam, cum causis emergentibus digne non posset Episcopale officium exercere, Romam ire disposuit, ubi consilio et judicio domini papæ Paschalis vitam suam transigeret. Sed ne id ad effectum perduceret, invalescentibus inter ipsum et Regem causis, præ angustia spiritus decidit in melancholiam. Unde, accepta licentia remorandi ad tempus Dunelmi propter infirmitatem, vigilia Apostolorum Petri et Pauli venit ad Weremutham, ubi quondam ab Aldwino habitum monachi susceperat; ubi mane ut poterat Missa celebrata, ad sanctum Cuthbertum proficiscitur, ibique in lectum decidens, modo lentis modo nimiis præparatur febribus ad exitum, et hoc per duos menses et quatuor dies. Instante autem hora exitus, cum diceret sicut poterat orando, "In pace factus est locus Ejus et habitatio Ejus in Syon," et, “Laudate Dominum in sanctis Ejus," intra manus fratrum suorum animam exhalavit II. kalendas Aprilis, feria tertia, hora tertia; anno episcopatus ejus VIII. transacto, impetrato munere a Deo quod sedulo rogaverat ut apud sacrum Cuthberti corpus animam redderet.
