"Lorica"
(note to self) I found this, John Colgan translating a "hymnus seu prima vita S. Patricii S Fieco authore", which has  Hymnus decantatus tibi iam viventi erit lorica protectionis populis. This translates an Irish verse which may well be at the origin of the designation of "lorica" for this hymn. The Irish term translated as "lorica" is luirech (presumably just a loan of lorica and not a genuinely Irish word). More research needed on this. --dab (𒁳) 19:34, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
