As I said I first had it on a photo, I then had a chance to see it. Not in
Sweden, of course - in London.
As for the Irish annals, there are entries that refer to early years,

I read that one not five minuits ago when going thru my handwritten texts. I
have also reread the Annals of Ulster and some other which I have had been
given in a A4 copy of edited texts. I have some copies with handwritten
texts and at least 20 note-books still to go thru from the time I looked
into the Irish and the Scottish past.

As so many times before. I saw a note going back before Christ as well. The
interesting thing with the later is that it might be a possible coordination
with a line in Ora Maritima.....
