 出典 
 Since the 1990s, academics have accorded Eochaid various names in English secondary sources: Eochaid, and Eochod. Since the 1990s, academics have accorded Eochaid various patronyms in English secondary sources: Eochaid ap Rhun, and Eochaid map Rhun.
 Eochaid is not the only British contemporary known to have possessed a genealogical connection with the Pictish elite. For example, the tenth-century Life of St Cathróe reports that Cathróe was related to both the kings of Alba and Strathclyde.
 The personal name Eochaid is Celtic in origin, based upon an element meaning "horse" (for example, the Old Irish ech is derived from the Proto-Celtic *ekʷos). It was a very common Gaelic name. In Dál Riata, the name may be associated with the Epidii. The name of this population group is derived from Proto-Celtic *Ekʷodii, meaning "horsemen". According to the early mediaeval genealogical tracts Cethri prímchenéla and Míniugud senchasa fher nAlban, the ultimate ancestor of the leading kindreds of Dál Riata was a man named Eochaid.
 Arthgal's death is also reported by the reconstructed Chronicle of Ireland.
 This site — identified in local tradition as "Doomster Hill" — was destroyed in the nineteenth century. The stepped sides of the hill are similar to those of some Scandinavian assembly sites in Britain and Ireland.
