[60] i.e. The old woman's rock. Cailleach in Irish, and kerling in Icelandic signify an old woman.
[61] i.e. The promontory. This island was so called because, from its propinquity to the opposite shore, it appeared like a cape. The old Venetian edition of Pliny has “Mella xxv mill. pass. amplior proditur;” in the other copies it is “Reliquarum nulla” &c. Hence the true reading appears to be Reliquarum Mulla &c.
[62] Ken-tîr, i.e. the promontory, a Peninsula in Scotland, Kintire.

[64] Who this Margad was does not appear from history, I believe.
