[393] Cp. Arrian’s Cynegeticus, esp. chaps. 1, 2, 3.
[394] The nature of the cargo is another argument against the view that Britain was the destination.
[395] Annis xxx. Tír. loc. cit. The numeral is less probably a mistake for iii. than the result of a mistaken attempt to account for the chronology of Patrick’s life on the hypothesis that he lived to the age of 120. Other schemes assigned 30 or 40 years to the Auxerre period (Muirchu, 271₂₂).
[396] For the traditions and legends connecting Palladius with Scotland see Skene, Celtic Scotland, ii. 29 sqq.
[397] Schoell, De ecclesiasticae Britonum Scotorumque historiae fontibus, 1851, p. 77; Loofs, De antiqua Britonum Scotorumque ecclesia, p. 51 (1882). Compare B. Robert’s criticisms on their arguments, Étude critique, etc., pp. 28 sqq.
[398] Professor Zimmer (Early Celtic Church, p. 38) regards Palladius as a Roman rendering of Patrick’s name Sucatus (warlike), following a suggestion of Mr. O’Brien (Irish. Eccl. Record, 1887, pp. 723 sqq.). This is quite unconvincing, in the absence of any evidence that Palladius was a Briton. Why should he not have belonged to the stirps Palladiorum of Bourges (Apoll. Sidon. Epp. vii. 9, 24)? Cp. Duchesne, Fastes épisc. ii. p. 26, note.
[399] P. cxxv. ed. Stokes (1871). This calendar, Mr. Stokes has shown, cannot be earlier than the end of the tenth century.
[400] The name of Palladius does not appear in any Irish calendar of saints. It appears under July 6 in the Breviary of Aberdeen. See Todd, St. Patrick, p. 299.

[402] M. d’Arbois de Jubainville has a note on Sen Patrick in Revue celtique, ix. p. 111 sqq. He thinks a second Patricius came over to Ireland as a mere name in a copy of the Hieronymian Martyrology towards end of sixth century; and that of him were made the two Patricks of August 24 in Mart. of Tallaght.
