General register house, 1867), citing, (translation) “Kinadius, the son of Alpinus, the first of the Scots, ruled this country successfully for sixteen years. Pictavia was named by the Picts; whom, as we have said, Cinnadus destroyed…But this man, two yearsbefore he came to Pictavia, took the kingdom of Dalriete. In the seventh year of his reign, he transported the remains of St. Columba to the church he had built, and invaded Saxony six times; and cremated Dunbarre and usurped Marius. But the Britons burned Dubblain, and the Danes ravaged Pictavia, as far as Cluanan and Duncalden. He died at last of [tumor], on the third of February, in the palaceof Fothuirtabaicht.” 8.
