Title Aibidil Luigne maic Éremóin
‘The alphabet of Luigne son of Éremón’
Meyer and Smith initially read Cuigne for Luigne, but since Ó Cuív pointed out that part of the initial was cut off by the binder, the text is known by its restored title.[1]
Manuscripts

Dublin, Royal Irish Academy, MS 23 P 2 = Book of Lecan, p. 176a 2

Description Collection of proverbs and legal precepts
Textual relationships Some of the “legal and proverbial maxims [...] are also found in the surviving law-texts and in other wisdom-texts, particularly Tecosca Cormaic” (Kelly).[2]
