^  Sectmaide.  This  word  (from  sect
seven,)  may  be  the  Latin  Septimius,
The  word  is  written  Factmudius  in
Colgan's  translation  of  these  Scholia;
and  we  meet  with  it  in  the  Lives  un-
der the  transformations  of  Rectmi-
tius,  Fectmagius,  Sectmatius,  &c.
There  seems  no  clue  to  the  real  name
or  history  of  the  chieftain  who  was
intended.  Keating  and  other  Irish
authors  suppose  the  celebrated  Niall
of  the  nine  hostages  to  have  been
the  leader  of  the  expedition,  in  which
Patrick  was  captured.  See  Lanigan,
who  favours  the  same  opinion,  i.  p.
137.  O'Flaherty,  Ogyg.  p.  393,  sq,
Ussher,  Antiquitt.  c.  15,  (Works,  vi.
p.  115).  But  Sechtmadius  could
not  have  been  intended  as  a  name
for  King  Niall.
