Preface.
Acallam na Senórach, 'the Colloquy with the Ancient
Men', is, next to the Tain ho Cualngi, the longest prose com-
position of the mediaeval Irish. Like the Paiicatantra , the
Decameron and The Thousand and one Nights, the Acallam is
what Germans call a rahmenerzahlung, that is to say, it
consists of a number of stories enclosed in the framework of
a single narrative. The framing story, in the present case, tells
how the two old heroes, Ossian and Cáilte, and their twice nine
followers'), surviving the ruinous battles of Comar, Gabra and
Ollarba^), meet with St. Patrick, and how Cáilte wanders with him
over Ireland, recounting legends connected with the hills, forts,
woods, lakes, fords, wells, cairns and so forth, to which they come.
Most of these legends relate to Find and the deeds of the
Fiann^). But the story of the Fort of Lugaid Menu's sons,
pp. 11 — 14, the story of Cormac Cass, p. 33, the pathetic account
of the deaths of Fithir and Dáríne, p. 117, belong to Other
cycles of romance. And the framing narrative contains some
*) Three enneads are mentioned in 11. 7896, 7906 : so there seem to
have been nine other followers, who subsequently joined Cáilte. For the
numbers nine and three, see infra, pp. 342, 346.
'^) This battle was (according to the Four Masters) fought A. D. 285.
Patrick's advent was, according to the same authorities, in the year 432.
So that the Fiann who met him must have been nearly 200 years old.
See note on 1. 524, as to the fabulous longevity of heathen heroes.

episodes, such as the escape and recognition of the prince who
had been carried off by elves (pp. 125, 134), and the love-tale
of Aillenn and the king of Connaught (pp. 176, 219), which
have nothing to do with Find and his warhke hunters.
The mss. upon which the present edition is based are
four in number, three of the fifteenth century, one of the six-
teenth, all on parchment*), and all more or less imperfect.
I. Laud 610. This ms. belongs to the Bodleian library.
It has been described by Todd ^), 0' Donovan ^) and Zimmer^).
The fragments of the Acallam which it contains begin at
fo. 123 and end with fo. 146. The first firagment corresponds
with Hues 2044 — 2235 of the following text: the second with
11. 2400—3520: the third with 11. 3723-3909: the fourth with
11. 4078—7356: the fifth with 11. 7398—7546: the sixth with
11. 7597 — 7986, where it ends imperfectly. The Laud fragments,
being older and better than the others, are here printed in
extenso. But all the important various readings of the other
mss. are given in the notes.
II. RawHnson B. 487 also belongs to the Bodleian. This
ms. has been described by Macray and d'Arbois de Jubainville.
It contains four fragments of the Acallam. The first page
is illegible. The first legible fragment begins at fo. 13*", and
con-esponds with 11. 187—680 of the following text. The second
fragment corresponds with 11. 780—1361: the third with 11.
1659—4139: the four with 11. 4519—6579, where this copy ends
imperfectly. It omits many of the poems.

seen them.
Preface. XI
of the Duke of Devonshire, has been fully described in the
preface to Lives of Saints from the Booh of Lismore, Oxford,
1890. The ten fragments of the Acallam which it contains
are in if. 159 — 197. The first fragment corresponds with 11,
1-3975: the second with 11. 4078-5639: the third with
11. 5940-6096: the fourth with 11. 6400—6446: the fifth with
11. 6494—6625: the sixth with 11. 6954—7125: the seventh with
11. 7138-7356: the eighth with Ih 7398—7546: the ninth with
11. 7565—7596: the tenth with 11. 7883—8005.
Lines 1-2043, 2236—2400, 3521—3717, 3910-3975,
7565—7596, 7986—8005, not being in Laud 610, are printed infra.
The Lismore L-agments have been edited in Silva Gadelica,
London 1892, pp. 94 — 233, with lamentable inaccuracy. In
the Revue Celtique XIV 329—331, XV 372-382, Kuno Meyer
has mentioned some of the textual errors in this edition. I
collated it carefully with the Book of Lismore, and it is not
too much to say that, of the 3260 hues (or thereabouts)
which it contains, hardly a single line correctly represents the ms.
though many of the deviations, such as the bisection of compound
verbs, and the wrong omission or insertion of marks of length
or marks of aspiration, are comparatively unimportant. On the
other hand, the translation given in vol. II, pp. 101 — 265
deserves high praise. So excellent is it, on the whole ^), as to
justify me in dispensing with a version of the greater part of the
text printed in this volume, and in giving translations only of the
parts of the Acallam not found in the Book of Lismore.
Extracts from the Lismore copy are given in O'Curry's
Lectures, pp. 594 — 597, and in his Manners and Customs, III.
pp. 12, 169, 305, 316, 325, 328, 361, 379.
IV. The copy in the Franciscan monastery. Merchants'
Quay, Dubhn. This has been noticed by Zimmer, Gott. Gel. Anz.
1887, s. 192. It contains 84 pages, of which the first four and
1) In the Bevue Celtique XV 117—119 K. Meyer has corrected about
thirty-eight wrong renderings, and to these I have added some fifty in the
notes and glossary to the present edition.

the last two are in an ugly modern handwriting. The rest
of the codex is in a good fifteenth-centuiy script*). It ends with
the words: tainic remhe arsin go dorws in tsidha 7 dorinneííh
lamhach mas fi'or, et cetera^), which corresponds with 1. 7658.
After the words corresponding with 1. 6238 a leaf has been
lost, and with it the matter contained in 11. 6220 — 6564. The
arrangement of the stories in the Franciscan ms. differs some-
what from that of the other copies (see notes on 11. 224, 1450,
1479, 3725); and so many minor variations and additions are
mentioned in the notes that it may well be regarded as a second
recension. As hterature, the Franciscan Acallam is inferior to
the older versions, the scribe or redactor indulging overmuch in
those strings of alUterating adjectives which debase the later
compositions in Gaehc prose^). In none of the copies, however, will
be found the 'mystical rant and unashamed incoherence' which
characterise the work of some of the so-called Celtic revivahsts. The
tales, in fact,are generally told with sobriety and directness: they evince
a genuine feeling for natural beauty ^), a passion for music, a moral
purity singular in a mediaeval collection of stories, a noble love for
manliness and honour ^). Some of them seem to me admirable for
their unstudied pathos — see, for instance, the tale of Gael the Hai'dy
and Créde, pp. 22 — 25, and the account of the deaths ofFithir and
Dárine, pp. 117, 118. Sadder even than these is the non-fulfilment
of the prophecy in 11. 301, 302, that the tales of the Fiann
will be a pastime to the companies and nobles of the latter
time. In Ireland, at least, there are now few companies and no
nobles that are able to read them.
*) The scribe's name appears in p. 13, Misi concobar 0. d., and p. 21,
Misi concobhar ó dhubhdha.
*) The modern scribe adds the following note: ni bhfuil ann nios mo
re sccriobadh don cor so. 7 da mbeih dodhéanmais ar ndiothcell fair.
*) See 0' Donovan's remarks, The Battle of Bun na ngédh, p. IX.
*) See, for instance, the poem on Arran, 11. 340—351.
•*) 'What maintained you so in your life?' says the Christian Patrick.
And Cáilte, still a heathen, answers: 'Righteousness in our hearts, and
strength in our arms, and fulfilment in our tongues', 11. 118—120.
Preface. XIII
None of the copies of the Acallam have preserved the
conclusion, which must have contained the end of the story of
the lÄa Fail, and probably described the minstrel Cass corach's
wedding (see 1. 7542), and the death and burial of Cáilte and
Ossian^).
The notes, besides giving various readings, call attention
to some parallels between the heroic age of the Irish and that
of the Greeks-), and mention many of the points in which the
Acallam illustrates Irish folklore, manners, customs and metric.
To other realien the Index of Things will give access. The
Indexes of Persons and Places call for no remark, save that
I have vainly tried to identify many of the locahties mentioned
in the Acallam. A Gaelic onomasticon may, I am told,
be expected from Father Hogan. By one Irishman, at all
events, it will be gratefully welcomed. The Glossarial Index
contains about 2100 entries, and will, I hope, be found a useful suj^p-
lement to Professor Windisch's Wörterbuch. It owes much to Mr. S.
H, 'Grady, for most of the explanations in inverted commas are
borrowed from his Silva Gadelica. But few useful illustrations of
Middle-Irish grammar are contained in the text now pubUshed.
Of these the most important are
(1) the declension of ar&ör 'corn', gen, arha, O.Ir.arhe, from an
*arvor, gen. *arvés, *arvens, which Prof. Strachan has compared
with the declension of Gr. rjjcag, rjjiazog, Skr. ydkrf, yalcnas^).
(2) the equatives in -thir, found for the most part in the
Franciscan copy, and corresponding with adjectives compounded
with com-. Examples are dergithir 6636 n. = comderg *as red'.
*) Something, too, would perhaps be said of the 'potion of remem-
brance' promised to Cáilte by Bebind, and of the magical frock, mantle
and fishhook given to him by that lady.
^) For others, see d'Arbois de Jubainville, La Civilisation des Celles
et Celle de Vépopée homériqué, Paris, 1899.
*) Still closer parallels are Lat. iter, itin-er-is, jecur,jecin-or-is, vthere
the -er~, -or- of the genitive are intrusions from the nom. 8g.: see Brug-
mann's Grundriss §§ 114, 397. For the ur- irisch genitive ending -ens,
ibid. § 234.
XIV Preface.
dubithir 6636 n. = comduh 'as black', glaisithir 6637 n. = com-
glas 'as blue', and remitJiir 5943 n. = comremur 'as thick'.
(3) the use of the ordinals to denote one of the group
indicated. For example : ind-ara 'one of two', tres 'one of three',
cethramad 'one of four', coked 'one of five', oclitmad dec 'one
of eighteen'. For references to these forms see the Glossarial Index.
(4) the nominal preposition cJiu-ind 2719, 5719, 6198 or
chu-inn 2726 n.^), synonymous with do-chumm-n 'zu, nach, in,
(meist nach Verben der Bewegung)', Wind. Wtb. 493. Here ind
'vertex, end', is possibly cognate with the Greek mountain-name
IJivóog ^), and cumm-n, from *Jcudsmen, is probably cognate with
ct Ytiufe^iüL^ the reduphcated Slcr. kahU, kaJmdmän, Lat. cacümen.
°*^^|^ Lastly, I entreat all students of this book to repay me
for the time and labour that I have bestowed upon it, by making
in their copies the corrections mentioned in pp. 485—437.

How Patrick healed Cáilte's right side.
[Text: lines 3976-4048.]
One day Patrick was reciting his hours, and when he had /
finished, they heard on the hill beside them the noise of a hunt a^^^ ^^
and chase out of Berrobail. "Feeble is the cry of the hounds ^ , //- (, /^
and the men that we hear", says Cailte; "and 'tis owing to the jJJc-^v /^»--^ ^^
death of the lord Find that this hunt is making it (so faint), and U^,'^-^ " ^
to the death ^of Mac Lugach the vaHant, and the death of Diarmait '^^
O'Duibni, and of Aed the Little, son of Find, who was killed
in the east in England in a furious battle, and the lack of ^
Dub da Chonn and Dub Dithrib, son of the king of Leinster, tj. 7A.Í-i«*v^
and the deceas e of Dithrubach, son of the Seal, son of Eogan,
the son of Find's mother, slain by Cailte Coscar-rig, son of the -
king of France, and the burial of Conán the Bald, son of .f^ ^«i.«..
Morna, and of Ferdoman, son of Bodb, because of Findinne,
Bodb's daughter."
Then said Patrick to Cailte. "Sad is thy wail of sorrow
to be thus bereft of thy Fiann! But it is not in them thou
shouldst now beheve, but in the glorious God who created heaven
and earth." "Well, my soul, my holy cleric," (says Cailte), "hadst
thou known the Fiann thou wouldst have loved them, since I
am dear to thee, 7, who have spent my vigour and my spear-
throwing."
The whole host heard that, and sad they were at the
true hero and true brave's doings on that day in the absence
of his Fiann. "Cailte, my soul,' says Patrick, "why dost thou

not go to see (the hunt)?" "Fain would I go, holy Patrick, but [
for a spearcast which Sescenn, son of Fer-dub, made upon me ';
at the battle of Kenmare in the south, and I cannot go because
jiSLAjJ^ 1»*^/ of the bloodclot s of that cast. But it was his last shot, for
he himself fell there. And now I thank the King of heaven
and earth that I may be listening to the crow of the cock ,
in this place." i
"« /r»<*v\ "Whereon then did the spear alight?" asked Patrick. "On X
"my right side here, holy Patrick, where the shield was not '
fe/ protecting me." Then Patrick put his right palm to the ^lace i
fj of the blow, and the spear(head) came forth through the wound, ;
Ccc&tSACi > ^^^ the knee of the biggest man of the host would pass through
the socket and fitting of the spear. The nearest to Cailte in \
the church was Mael-trena, son of Dinertach. "My boy", says \
Cailte, "take hold of my hand, for the Adzehead has gone to ;
see the hunt." I
Cailte sang: I
scholar, take me out, since Celebration has ended, Í
To hear the hound that hunts a deer out of BeiTohol ... i
cock that crowest clearly, for whom dost thou make thy music? etc.
Then Cailte came forth, and Mael-trena, Patrick's primal
pupil, held liis hand, and took him to the bed-house after the
spear had been extracted, and there he remained that night,
groaning and lamenting.

There was a brigand in that country, Dubchraide, son of
Dubtnúthach ('Blackheart, son of Dark-envious'), emperilling^ I

The Origin of Ard Senaig. 227
The Origin of Ard Senaig.
[Text: lines 4054—4077.]
And there they abode for three days and three nights, and
then they all fared forward to the Fiann's Valley on the hither
side of Cruachan, and sat down on Ard Senaig (Senach's Height')
above the Fiann's Valley. "0 Cáilte," said Patrick, "why was
this height called Ard Senaig?" "I will tell thee," answers
Cáilte. "Find had an excellent minstrel named Senach ua
Daigri, and here he died of an hour's illness. And the hillock
was built over him, so that from him it is called Ard Senaig."
And Cáilte said: ("
'I remember what Senach got from Find for his music — 'twas no grief ' ~'
and being with, naught — thirty ounces every quarter. A golden penny
for every man in the host to comely, ruddy-haired Senach, that he might
sing — great the deed — and send them into a (charmed) sleep.'
"Cáilte, my soul," says Patrick, "manifold was that abundance
of wealth." "It was manifold," says Cailte; "for if he had given
no treasure save what he gave to women and minstrels the
treasure (so given) would be vast." "And did he endo w many /V'U/vu^ .
women thus?' asks Patrick. "Truly he did endow them," ans- tj
wers Cailte, saying:
o
Three hundred women Find endowed, by the King who is above
my head (God), a separate brideprice to every woman — vast was the
treasure altogether.
"Great was that warrior's generosity!" says Patrick. "It
was great," says Cailte; "for he left no woman without her
brideprice, nor servant without his due, nor man (-at -arms)
without his pay. And he never promised in the night what he
would not fulfil in the (following) day, and he never promised
in the day what he would not fulfil in the (following) night."
The story of Etain Fairhair's wooing and death.
[Text: lines 5638—5724.]
Once upon a time, when Find son of Cumall was on this
hill, they saw upon it a woman a-waiting them. She wore a
crimson fringed mantle with a golden brooch therein, and she

had a frontlet of yellow gold at her forehead. Find asked tidings
of her, whence she came, and she answered him: "From the
Peak of Etar, son of Etgaeth the champion, in the east^"
"What is thy name, O damsel?" says Find. "Etáin Fairhair is
my name," says she, "daughter of Aed Whitebreast, out of the
Elfmound of Benn Étaii' in the east". "Why hast thou come
hither thence?" says Find. "'To ask one of the Fiann of Erin
Jjr ^ tt^'v***^ to race me/ she replied. "How dost thou run?" asked Diarmait
XM"*. O'Duibni. "Good is my running," says the damsel, "whether
long or short is the earth or ground under my foot, 'tis the same
to me to be running." Said Cáilte:
'When we came to Benn ban a woman joined our company', etc.
[They raced to the hillock over Badammar, thence to Dublin, where Cailte
was the first to arrive, and thence to the elfmound at Howth, where they
found mead and wine, and remained twenty nights.]
"And this was our number when we reached that elfmound",
says Cailte, "twenty hundreds of the Fiann of Erin including
Find son of Cumall; and we sat on the bedrail of the palace in the
elfaiound, and then our feet were washed, and our hunger was
abated, and our thirst was quenched. And as we were there. Find
saw a gentle yellow-haired damsel in front of the vats, with a cup
of white silver in her hand, and she distributing to every one.
Then said the prince Find: "It seems to us that yon is
the damsel that challenged the Fiann to run and race from
the Fort of Sheve Grod in the west to Benn Etair'. "It was
not she at all," says Aed Whitebreast, the king of the elfmound,
"for yon is the slowest of our women." "Who then was it?"
asked Find. "Be-mannair, daughter of Ainceol," rephed Aed
Whitebreast, "the she -messenger of the Tuath de Danann. And
'tis she that shifts into the shape of a spegduhan and a whale,
and forms herself into the semblance of a fly, and of a true
lover, both man and woman, so that all leave their secret with
(j^ \>tAt^ her. She it is that outraced thee in_the_east, and not yon damsel,
who was (then) drinking and making merry at the vats in the
elfmound". "And how is yon damsel named?" asked Find.

The story of Étain Fairhair's wooing and death. 229
''Etáin Fairhair", says Aed, "a daughter of mine, and a darling of
all the Tuath de Danaun. And thus is that girl, with a lover
in the Fiauns of Erin," "Good, my soul," says Find, "which
of us is that lover?" "Oscar, son of Ossian," says Aed; "and
'tis she that sent the messenger for you to the Fort of Slieve Grod
in the south. And Cairbre Lifechair, son of Cormac (king of
Erin,) has offered to give the Tuath de Danann, as her bride-
price,/^the cantred nearest to Bregia and Meath, and to put A
hiniself and an equal weight of gold and silver into a balance, A«^
and to give it all to her." "Why did ye not agree (to yield)
her for this to the king of Erin's sou?" "We did not accept
it," says Aed, "for she had not a whit of desire or inchnation

her." "Well," says Find, "what condition dost thou seek from
us? Well, my soul, my damsel, what condition dost tliou ask
from the son of the son of the king-champion, even Oscar?"
Said the damsel: "Never to leave me until my own evil deeds come
against me!" "Verily", says Oscar, "thou shalt have this condition."
"Give us sureties and guarantees for it," says the damsel.
"What sureties dost thou demand?" "Goll mac Morna of the
sons of Morna, and of theFianna ofErinn, Find, son ofCumall."
So those sureties were given to her, and the damsel and Oscar
were wedded; and we staid there for twenty nights afterwards.
Then Oscar asked Find: "Whither shall I take my wife?"
"To broad-green Almu (Allen) of Leinster," says Find, "till the
end of seven years; and thenceforward do thou thyself leave .J~^.

night Etáin Fairhair came upon the bed into Oscar's company, and
saw that the great and kingly form that he wore had departed:

She left three noble sons with Oscar. Luath and Indell
and Oscar were their names. That is the story which you
asked of me," says Cáilte, "and therefore this place is called

The story of Cuillenn and Callann and their son Fer óc.
(Text: lines 5725—5886)
And there they staid that night till day with its full rad-
iance came on the morrow. And saint Patrick and all the host
arose and fared forth to Cuillenn and to Callann in Húi-
Cuanach, and there Patrick sat down, so that Suide Pdtraic
('Patrick's seat') is the name of the place from that time to this.
The king of Munster sits at Patrick's shoulder, and in front of
him sat Cáilte.
Then Eogan Redside, son of Oengus, king of Munster,
demanded of Cáilte: "Why was this place called Callann and
Cuillenn? and why was the name Lige in óic ('the Warrior's
Grave') given to yonder hill, and Clad na Feine ('Dyke of the
Fian') to this dyke surrounding the land and the district?"
And Cailte answered that question (thus:)
"One day," says Cailte, "Find, son of Cumall, was at Ráith
Chuiri between Dundalk and the sea, at the end of Tráig BaiH,
and Lepaid na hiubraige ('the Bed of the lubrach') on one side
of Find, and Edith na hechraide ('the Rath of the horses'), the
place of the Dub-sainglenn and the Liath Macha^, on the other
side, and Dundalk behind us. We had not been there long
when we saw on the strand to the north thirty charioteers coming
straight towards us. They alighted and unyoked their horses,
and the great wide-eyed warrior, who was eldest and noblest of
them, sat down by Find's shoulder. The lord Find asked his
tidings: "whence hast thou come, my soul, my warrior, and who
^ Cúchulainn's two horses.

art thou thyself?" quoth he. "Callanu, sou of Fergus the Fair,
am I," says the warrior, "son of the king of Ulaid in the north;
and my own brother Aed Donn, is banishing me, and he lets
me not be with (king) Cormac húa Cuinn, and keeps me off
my own heritage. So I have come to have speech with thee,
royal champion, for we are related, Mes Mungel ('Whiteneck,')
daughter of Oengus, king of Ulaid, thy grandmother, being own
sister to my father and mother of Cumall.
"If so," says Ossian, "'tis from the Ulaid we have brought
the fury and the fierceness (?) that are in us.' "'Tis from them
assuredly," says Find. "Is it in Ulster that thou wouldst get
land?" "Nay indeed," says Callann, "since we should not
commit parricide between us." "If so," says Find, "I will go
tomorrow to Eochaid Eed-edge, son of Find, king of Mun-
ster's two provinces, and I will seek for thee land from him for
I a time and a season. And unless I get thee land from h im with
his consent, I will deliver battle at the end of Tráig Baile to
the king of Ulaid for thine own land."
Then the thi'ee battalions of the Fiann, with Callann, son of
the king of Ulaid, before them, marched southwards to the Fort of
Sheve Grod, to the place where the king of Munster was dwelling.
And the king came and met Find and the Fiann of Erin, and
• said: "Welcome is thy arrival, my soul, O Find/ "-öfid- loyal is I—
'jtuns tliis greeting of ours," "'Tis loyal indeed," says the king (of-
tbc Fiann). Then they entered the fortress, and they were
ministered to, and tíie drinking-house was arranged for them, ^
and Goll mac Morna was placed on one of Find's hands, and
the son of the king of Ulaid on the other hand.
Then said the king of Munster: "have ye seen of the men
of Erin, or the men of the whole world, a thir d, whose shape is
better than that of yon warrior at Find son of Cumall's shoulder?"
And the king asked: "who is that warrior in thy company,
Find?" So Find told him Callann's name and description, J***^*^
and that Callann had come to ask him for land and heritage.
"By my word," says the king of Munster, "if one as good as
yon should come himself to ask for territory and land, it were

proper to bestow it upon him; but when thou, my soul, my
royal champion, askest it, 'tis the more proper to give it to
him. And lo, there are two cantreds from me to him," says
the king of Munster. "And a third cantred to me and to the
Fian!" says Find. And that also was given to Callann, so
that he had three cantreds.
"In what place dost thou give him that land?" says Find.
"Breccthir — now called Húi Chuanach — and Tulach na
dála" — now called Cuillinn. "Rude and Ultonian are my
A ^L^ Úf^^ people," says Callann, son of Fergus. L "I have a counsel for thee
\j^ju^ (U " as to that," says the king of Munster. "Let the Fiann there
build a rampart and a fortification round thy land." So the
Fiann's three battalions arose, and built it in the seven days
of the week, and a 'host-door of contention' was made on it.
And after it was built for him, Find and the Fiann's thi-ee
battahons, and Callann, son of Fergus, son of the king of Ulaid,
C^Xj^f^jt^ went with them again to the Fortress of Slieve Grod.
Then said Find: "Well, my soul, king of Munster
knowest thou on what other errand we came to thee?" "Truly
I know not", says the king. "To demand thy daughter Cuillenn
for Callann, son of Ulaid's king." "What is her bride- price
and her present?" asked her father. "An hundreded bride-price,"
says Find, — that is, a hundred to her of every kind of cattle
fXjt}f ' ^^d of every generation (now existing); and by my word, it
shall go to her,^" says Find. So that (bride-price) was bound
to her, and on that night the king of Munster's daughter was
wedded to the king of Ulaid's son.
And Callann went northward for his people, and they came
with him to the land which the king of Munster had given
him, and there he built a great fortress.
Q The damsel bore him a famous and beautiful son named
• Fer ÓC ('young man'); and in all Ireland there was scarcely
one whose shape and vigour and spearcasting were as good
as his.

with a heavy lump of a stone on his palm, and he used to ^^^}**^^^^
give a cast of it so that it would fly over ten furrows, and he
would run beneath it, and catch it with his hand in the air.
And we, the three battalions of the Fiann, were long looking
at him. "Never," says Find, "have we seen better casting than
that; and who, my men, is the youth that achieves it?" "The son
of the owner of this place," says every one, "even Fer oc, son
of Callann, son of the king of Ulaid." "Never," [says Find]
"has there come from the Ulaid, since their great and gallant
men departed (hfe), better makings of a warrior than that
youth." "Never indeed has there come," say all at the same
time. "And he does another casting that is harder than
that." "What is it?" says Find. "He puts the shafts of his two
spears against the ground, with his back to the homestead, and
he leaps with the spearshafts over the gate, and alights on the
stone on the other side with the spears in his hand, and he
leaps back with them out over the stead, and lights upon
this green."
"0 Fer ÓC," says Find, "for the truth of thy conscience,
perform this feat in our presence!" "We will do it," says the
youth. "But I am ashamed to perform it in the presence of the
Fiann of Erin, unless I succeed in doing it well." Then he
performed the feat in presence of Find and the Fiann, as well
as ever he had done it.
To them then came Callann and Cuillenn, the father and
mother of the youth, and gave a beautiful welcome to Find
and the rest of the Fiann. "Well, my soul, my son," say they
(to Fer oc), "make thy covenant and thy fellowship with Find."
He arose and made his covenant and his fellowship with Find;
and, after that, we entered the fort, and there we abode carous-
ing and enjoying ourselves.
Then said the lord Find: 'where is Berrach, daughter of
Cass of Cuailgne?" "Here, my soul, my royal champion," says the

damsel. "Take the 'measure oi hundreds' unto thee, and put
into it thrice its fill of gold and thrice its fill of silver, and
give that to Fer oc as his wage." And the youth divided it
into three, to wit, a third to his father, a third to his mother,
and another third to sages and to oUaves and to the treasurers
of the Fiann of Erin. "Wisely hath the wage been divided,"
says Find. And they were there till on the morrow day came
with its full radiance.
Then was a hunt and a battue held by the three battahons
of the Fiann. Howbeit, on that day, owing to Fer oc (and
his superior skill) to none of the Fiann it fell to get first blood
of pig or deer. Now when they came home, after finishing the
hunt, a sore lung-disease attacked Fer oc, through the (evil) eyes
of the multitude and the envy of the great host, and it killed
him, soulless, at the end of nine days. He was buried on
yonder green-grassed hill," says Cailte, "and the shining stone
that he held when he was at games and diversion is that yon-
der rising out of his head.
So that from him Tulach in óic ('the hill of the youth') is
the name of that hill.
And his mother remained for a year in this stead after her
son. And every day she would go to her son's grave, and
throughout that year she was bewailing him. And one day she
died of grief for her son, and she, too, was put into this hillock.
So that from her is the name Cuillenn.
"And this", says Cailte, "is one of the four places at which
the Fianns of í'rin used to don their fine comely-mantled gar-
ments, namely, Tara of Bregia, and Temair Luachra, and in
broad-great Allen of Leinster, and here in Cuillenn. Here, too^
in every year the lord Find used to deliver three batt -l^ij to^the
Fiann, and champions were brought and chosen for valour in
place of all the Fiann that were killed. And here the fierce
wild stags and the heavy-sided boars were brought to us to the
floor of the house of drinking and delight. And on that day
Cuillenn was an abode of deer and game.
And Cailte said:

Then Eogau Redside, king of Munster, asked Cáilte: "And
why was this place called the Oakwood of the Conspiracy/
and why was this ridge called the Ridge of the Dead Woman, and
why was this little rath called the Little Rath of the Incantation?"
Cáilte answered: "I have knowledge thereof, though its origin
is ancient."
'Once upon a time, when Find and the three battalions of
the Fiann came hither to have a hunt and a brealdng-up (of deer),
we were not long here till we saw a single person approaching us.
k-i^ «Se sat down on this hillock in our company, and a woman XMt^
feoro, with a smock of royal velvet next her skin. Around her
was a mantle fringed and purple, with a golden brooch therein.
She wore a soft', plaited, gilded tunic, with a golden breastplate
thereon, and a diadem of gold on her head. Not trifling was
the thing to which we compared her, to wit, the mast of a great
ship over a high summit; and there were but few of us who
felt not horror and fear and awe at the excellence of the
woman's shape and at her size. For we were not folk of the
same era as she, for she was bigger, greatly bigger. Goll, son
of Morna, was then at Find's right hand, and there, in presence
of Munster's two provinces, Cáilte gave a great testimony as to
Goll. "He," said Cailte, "was the upper hand (in fighting),
and the deadly wave over fierce bands, and the bold hon, and
one of the five best warriors behind shield and sword and spear
that were in Erin and Alba at the same epoch and era as he.
For these were the five whose bravery was best at one time in
Erin, namely, Find, son of Cumall, and Lugaid Lágda, and
Oscar, son of Ossian, and Goll, son of Monia, and by my word,"
says Cailte, "'tis no bragging (to say) that I was the fifth."
Then said Find to Goll, (speaking) past her: "Hast thou
ever seen a woman bigger than yon woman?" "By my word,"
answered Goll, "I never saw, nor has any other ever seen, a
woman bigger than she is."

The story of the Oakgrove of the Conspiracy.
[Text: lines 6083—614/.'] ^j
"And why, Cáilte', says the king of Munster, "was
this oakgrove called 'the Oakgrove of the Conspiracy?'" "The
four of whom thou hast heard me tell (as being) at 'the Little
Eath of the Marvels/ namely, the three warriors and the hound,
to kill these the Fiann here conspired." 'What cause had they
to conspire against them, and they in the Fiann's own service?"
"The cause of the conspiracy was that the Fiann understood
not the arrangement or the procedure which the warriors chose to
follow, namely, their having a camp apart and a rampart of
fire flaming about them, and none to see them fi'om that ram-
part of fire until dawn on the morrow. And Find said: "By
no means would I have them killed, for of the world's men
they are the three best in spearthrowing and vigour. And they
possess three arts, and it would not be right for the men of the
world to kill them because of their having those arts," "Namely,
says Cailte," were the men of (all) the world in disease and sickness,
should one of the three apply herbs to the ailment of each,
he would thereafter be smooth and scarless. And whatever is asked
of the second man is gotten from him. And as to the third
man, let the wants of the world be told him, and they will be
fully satisfied by him. And in addition to, and beyond any of
these he had a pipe, and the men of the world would sleep
(at its sound), however great their illness. Moreover, as to the
hound, though none of us should kill a deer or other animal,
thanks to it we should have no lack (of food)."
Then said the lord Find to them: "Know ye why ye have
been brought to parley with me?" "We know not," say the
waniors. "The Fianns of Erin deem you disloyal because of
the arts which ye practise with them, and they desire to order
you to depart and to give you your wage." "What evil have
we done?" ask the warriors, "that we are ordered to depart?'

(^^^ ÍAf*M u^ "We know not," say the Fiann,/"save that ye have customs
-^ »-^ which we never saw nor heard of being practised by men be-
fore you, namely, a rampart of fire around you every night,
j^^^ and that after nightfall ye do not like anyone to see you, so
ye put that rampart of fire around you." "And what harm to
you is our doing that, Find?" say the Avarriors: "for not to you
shall we be oppressive, (but) every good thing we do, to you
it belongs." Then said the lord Find: "that is the speech of
gentlemen; and shewing you spite or making reproach by me
or any of the Fianna of Erin shall never occur by day or by
night. And there is something I fain would ask you," says Fhid.
"If we know it," they say, "it shall be told thee." "What
names do ye bear?" asked Find. "I am called Dub" ('Dark')
says the wanior who wrought the cm-es. "I am Ág" ('Battle')
says the middle warrior. "I am liar" ('Eagle'), says the other
warrior. And Cailte said, in describing those men and the
hound :
Dub and Ag and liar, loving the triad, dear was the place, and
Fermac, good was the hound, used to be in the midst among them, etc.
"Now go to your home," says Find ; "and so long as anyone
shall follow me ye shall be' ... ., and the fellowship ye have
not found ye shall get henceforward." "And therefore," says
Cailte, "this oakgrove about which you questioned me, king,
was called 'The Oakgrove of the Conspiracy.'
'Victory and benison fall to thee!' says Eogan Redside,
king of Munster, to Cailte: "well hast thou solved those two
questions. But thou hast been asked a third question (still)
unanswered, namely, why was this little rath called Ráithín na

coming towards us, holding three red hounds in their hands, and
three spears; and (there was) venom on their weapons, and venom
on their dress, and on their hands and their feet, and on everything
which they touched. "Whence have ye come, my men?' says
Find, ''and who are ye yourselves?" "Three sons of Uar, son of
Iiidast, are we," they answer, "of the Tuatli de Danann. A warrior
of thy people killed our father in the battle of the Tuath de
Danann on Sliab En ('the Mountain of Birds') in the east —
now called 'the Mountain of Aige, son of Ugaine' — and we
have come to demand of thee, O Find, the eric of our father.'
"You have been long in coming to demand it," says Find.
"We supposed," say they, "until thou camestto the Feast of Tara,
that it was Mider's sons that fought that battle, and the • / /
men of Ireland knew that it was thou that__ g.aye hostages of ^'** *****' ^^^^
the Tuath de Danann 4^/ the sons of Mider in that battle." f^/
"And what warrior of my people," asked Find, "do ye charge
with the killing of your father?" "Cáilte, son of Rónán," they
reply. "By my word," says Find, "he is one of the six men
who were in my company there. And what names do ye
bear?' asks Find. "Aincel ('lU-omen') and Digbail ('Damage')
and Espaid ('Want') are our names; and what answer do you
give us, Find?" "No one before me has given an eric for
a man killed in battle, and I will not give one," says Find.
"We shall inflict plunder and robbery upon thee." "What plunder
is that?' says Find. 'We are three brothers," they say, "and
we shall, each of us, inflict plunder." "I will do (this)," says
Aincel: "whether three or two or four of the Fiann chance upon
me, I will take all their feet and hands ftoaa them."^' "I will ^/
do (this)," says Digbail; "I will not go a day from them ^^^
without (causing) lack of hound or gilhe or warrior to the
Fianns of Erin." "And I will not leave them," says the thh'd f^*^
man, Espaid, "without their lacking a band or company or foot M&\*r\
or hand or one eye." "Unless we get somewhat to help us
against them," says Cailte, "no one of us will be alive at the
end of a year."
Then said the lord Find: "Well, ye Fianns of Erin, let a

fortress and goodly stead be built by you here, where yonder men
i>t, T met me ; for, until I find out which of us is the stronger I will
not be (retreating) before them throughout Erin, and they in
my rear (pursuing)." So the Fiann arose, and each of their
captains built a httle rath (rdithin) and fortress around him
and his company, from the summit of Sheve Mish in the west
as far as this," says Cáilte. "We suppose," says the king of
t/ Ü» ^ tC*^ Ulster, "that for^ some reason these little raths were (each) called
Bditliin na n-othrus" ('the httle rath of the heahngs') "It was
for this," says Cailte; "because the three remained here for a
ijUs,
j*^ month and a quarter and a year inflicting every ailment and
'"'^if" «X every bane upon the Fiann. And here the heahug of the
^^^ Fiann from these hurts was performed."
At that time and hour the three sons of the king of
Iruath, who were accompanying Find, came to have speech
with him, and took him apart on a 'sod of scrutiny of prudence,'
and said to him: "Well, my soul, Find, we desire to give
thee a circuit of our wolfhound, that is, to let him go
round thee thrice in every day. And then, though a multi-
tude be intending to do thee evil, or to plunder thee, they
will achieve nothing from one day to the next, provided there
be not fire or weapon or dog in the same house with him. For
it is a geis (tabu) of his, to have none of these things in the
same house." 'None of them,' says Find, "shall be in the same
house with your hound, and he shall return safe to you." Thus,
every day the hound was sent to Find, having about his neck his
ridgy red golden chain, wherein were fifty conchlanns of refined
gold. And the hound used to go in that wise thrice round
Find, and put his tongue thrice upon him. And to those who
(Lj.^M~ were nearest -the hound it seemed as if a vat of mead, after being
strained, was there, from the odour that would come fi"om him,
and to others it seemed that the odour that came from him, when he
entered the house to Find, was the perfume of a ft-agrant apple-
garth. "During that year", says Cailte, "those three (sons of Uar)
committed great plunderings on the Fiann: but for every sick-
ness and every evil that Aincél caused, Dub, son of the king

of Iruath, used to apply his herb and his leeching, so that the
patients were hale on the morrow. And to those whom Espaid
and Digbail injured Ag and Bar would give their help and succour.
"Then," says Cailte, "Cormac húa Cuinn was told of those
foemen doing evil to Find, and 'tis from them", says Cailte,
"come the famous proverbs, namely, to one whom bane or want
afflicts, this is the common saying: Aincél has visited thee.
And also, to one whom damage or want afflicts, JDigbail and
Espaid have visited thee.
"'Tis then," says Cailte, "that a gathering and muster was
made by Cormac húa Cuinn, the king of Ireland. Eight and
twenty battahons, with a thousand and two thousand in each,
came to this hill to wjork with Find and the Fianns of Erin.
And Find made welcome to Cormac and to the other nobles
of the men of Ireland, and related the great distress in which
he and the Fianna had been during that year, "save that
the three sons of the king of Iruath were helping us against
them." 'Why', asks Cormac, 'should not folk possessed of such
arts find some spell or charm or craft which would drive
the sons of Uar out of Ireland?' So then," says Cailte, "Cor-
mac told me to go for the three sons of the king of Iruath.
I went and fetched them to Cormac and Find and the nobles
of Ireland, and Cormac beheld them. "Handsome are the men,"
says Cormac, "and good are their shape and character. And
well, my sons, would ye find a spell or charm which would
banish fi:'om Ireland yon three foemen who are destroying the
Fianns of Erin?" "If", say the warriors, "we could find them
near us (tomorrow), we would enjoin them^) to depart (and)
drive them from the men of L-eland". "Where", says Find,
is Ag, son of the king of Iruath?" "Here", says the wamor.
"Where are yon three foemen who are destro}ing Ireland?"
"They are on Daire's Cairn, here at the end of the camp", answers
Ag. "And where are Garb-cronán and Saltrán Longheel?' asks
Find. 'Here, O royal champion!" say the giUies. "Go for

yonder men, and tell them I will give them what the king of
Ireland awards in respect of their father." So the gilhes fared
forth for them as far as this, and gave them the message. Then
they came, with the messengers, to Cormac and Find, and those
three sat down on the dyke of this rath; and Cormac was
there, with eight and twenty battahons, and we (also), the three
battaHons of the Fiann".
Then said Cormac: "Arise, Dub^ son of the king of
L'uath, and command them by spell and charm to leave L-eland!"
So Dub arose and said: "Go by virtue of this spell and charm,
ye three foemen, one-eyed, lame-thighed, foul-thighed, half-bhnd,
^^LjieX left-handed, of the race of wondrous evil, from the g ravel ly

hands of the unbeheving Jews the true and glorious God and
the Lord of all human beings! And go forth on the bitter-
deep brine, and let each of you deal a sword-blow on the
crown of each of his brothers. For long enough are ye plun-
dering and robbing the /truly-judging royal champion, even Find,
son of Cumall. Get you gone to the original kindred of your
father and mother and grandsire, to the gra velly hillocks of Hell
below, and may fire consume you there!"
Then the wolfhound raised his tail, and brought a blast
under them from below, and forth they fared on the fruitful green-
sided sea, and each of them dealt a swordblow on the other's
head. So thus the three brothers died and went to Hell.
Cailte sang:
They fared forth from us on the sea that was hugely-waved, etc.

Then said Flann son of Flann and Derg son of Dinertach :
"It were meet for us to ask for that spell, Cailte, my soul".
The baleful Birds. Cailté's Problem. 243
"For what reason?" asks the king of Munster. "Each of our lAi t'Wt?
mer ij including the t wo that wejare, has eight cantreds, which
amount to the whole kingdofn of West Munster, and at the
very time and hour for reaping our harvest three flocks of
birds come to us from the western sea, with beaks of bone
and breaths of fire out of their necks; and as cold as a spring- It^^JHtCi.
wind is the Avind that issues from their wings. And when
every one wishes (to put) a hand to the fields, they come to
us", says Flann, son of Flann, "and at one time in every twelve-
month a bird attacks every ear in our cornfield, and they
carry it off: the second time they bear away (our fruit), so
that they leave neither apple on appletree, nor nut on hazel,
nor berry on rowan; and when they come the third time they
leave neither fledgling nor fawn on the ground, nor silly httle
child; nor is there aught that they can hft that they take not
away". "And whence do they come ?" says Cailte, "or what are they
themselves? or to what end do they go?" "Some of us are saying",
quoth Derg, son ofDinertach, "that they come out of tfee-elf mounds ''^^
■«ö4-from the Tuath de Danann. Others are saying that they ff
are a birdflock out of Hell (sent) to do evil and injury to the
men of L-eland". "But whencesoever they come", say the
warriors, "we must leave them this district and land, for we
cannot any longer endure them".
Then said Cailte to Patrick: "Where is the lord of know-
ledge and computation, even saint Patrick? I would fain ask
thee a question'. "If I know the answer", says Patrick, "thou
shalt have it, for I have often put questions to thee". "In what
year is there a month without a moon", says Cailte, "and a
moon without a month, and a month that includes three
moons?" "The year of the Quartill", says Patrick, "which is
between two thousands of years, that is, a thousand before
it and a thousand after it. The first month of that year is
without a moon. In the next month there is a moon, but the
moon has not a month because of the following month. The
third month", says Patrick, "takes three moons upon it, i. e.
the first moon of the first month, which we have reckoned in
16*
244 Translation of parts of the Acallam omitted in Silva Gadelica.
^ the coui'se (?) of our previous question, and the first moon of
' the previous quarter the same month takes; and the third moon",
says Patrick, "is the moon of the kalends of that month's
original era".
"Success and benison attend thee, saint Patrick!" says
Cailte; "and a blessing came to the generation of the men of
L^eland the day thou earnest unto them. For there was a de-
Tv^ mon at the butt of every single grassblade therein before thine
advent, but today there is an angel at the butt of every grass-
blade therein. And blessing to the men of Ireland who shall
see thee and to those of them who shall not see thee, for thy
miracles and marvels will serve them. And well, my soul,
Patrick", says Cailte, "when is that year of the Quartill of
which thou toldest me?" "Yestreen was the fii'st night of it",
says Patrick, "And the month that contains the three moons",
says Cailte, "when comes it?" "Tomorrow night is the eve of
its commencement, and the day next to it. "And when are
your cornfields ripe, O Derg, son of Dinertach?" "Unless that
ill-omened flock of birds tarry (here), we shall be reaping to-
morrow", says the warrior. "When do ye expect those birds
to come to you?" asks Cailte. "Tomorrow certainly", says
Flann, son of Plann, "at the same time^ of day tomorrow as
Dub, son of the king of Iruath, put a spell and charm on the
three sons of Uar, son of Idast, when weapons killed them,
and the wave of the flood overwhelmed the three brothers".
"And why then", says Cailte, "should I not bestow a spell
and charm on Flann and Derg, the two kings of West Munsters,
in the name of the Trinity, unchanged and unchangeable, against
the birds that come every year to ruin them?"
So, early on the morrow, he fared forward, with the nobles
of the provinces of Munster, and Patrick together with them,
up to the summit of Sheve Mish. Then the birds came to the
cornfields as they used to come every year, and every one be-
held them, and they settled on the cornfields, and Cailte said:

The story of the bale Birds. 245
"Depart, ye children of Euadmael daughter of Eugatal, of

"And go", says Caüte, 'ye children of Bolcan, son of Ne-

Then the birdflock arose at that charm which Cailte
put upon them, and they fared forward out to sea, and each
of them killed the others with their beaks of bone and their
breaths of fire. Wherefore 'Crag of the Birdflock'^ is the name
of the crag over the edge of SHeve Mish by the sea, and 'The
Spell of the Birds of the cornfields' is the name of that spell y''****' '
thenceforward. And Cailte said:

Then Patrick consecrated the district and the land, so
that neither horr or, nor witch, nor destruction came into it ^j**^"**
thenceforward. And the host entered the fortress, having Pa-
trick along with them, and there they were till the end of the
week, merry and easy, a-drinking that feast. And this was
the king of Connaught when that birdflock was cast out of
Ireland, Aed, son of Muiredach, son of Finnachta.
The king of Connaught was then at Dun Leoda Loingsig,
and there he was partaking of a great feast which he held. And one
night there, at fall of (the clouds of) evening, he came out on the
greengrassed lawn; and as he was there, with the nobles of

0,,^ ^***^ m^%e»*f maned damsel, who_ looked not at.,the hpst, but at the king
£«^K ^^*T^^«JU alone; and strange was the damsel's fashion. "Whence hast
***■ ^^^ thou come, my damsel'?" says the king of Connaught. "Out
of the guttering Brugh in the east", says the damsel. "For what
hast thou come?" says the king. '■'■Thou art a sweetheart of
mine.' "Whose daughter art thou?" says the king, "and what
is thy name?" "Aillenn the Multiform I", quoth she,
"daughter of Bodb the Red, the Dagda's son". "Knowest thou,
, my soul, my Aillenn", says the king, "that a sore lung-disease
seized me, and draughts of sudden death were gotten by my
father and my mother; but the Adze-head, saint Patrick, brought
me back to Hfe, and bound me to have only one consort, even
Aifi the Multiform, daughter of Eogan Redside, the king of
Leinster. And yet, by my word", says the king, "never have
I seen a woman whom I would rather have to wife than thou,
were I not subject to the cleric's discipline and to fear of the
King of heaven and earth. And now, my soul, my damsel",
says the king, "wouldst thou like to be seen by the nobles of
the province?" "I should like, indeed", says the damsel, "for
I am not a . . . elfwoman, but one of the Tuath de Danann, with
my own body about me". And the damsel displayed herself to
the host, and never saw they, before or after, a woman loveher
than she. "And what doom dost thou pass upon me", king
of Connaught?" says the damsel. "Truly", says the king, "I
will pass the doom that saint Patrick will pass. That I will
give thee".
Then the king commanded seven of his household to go for
saint Patrick to Cathair na Cloenratha in the south, to the
summit of SKeve Mish; and they fared forth till they came
thither, and there they found Patrick.
Then Patrick bade farewell to the two provinces of Mun-
ster, and left a blessing with them, and came on with those
envoys to Benn in Bailb, now called Benn Gulban, in Maen-
mag. And thither Aed the king of Connaught came to meet
saint Patrick, and he laid his head on Patrick's breast, and knelt

to him, and gave him power over the province from small to
great. And the king was relating to Patrick the story of
the damsel. "And art thou", asked Patrick, "the damsel that
gave love to the king of Connaught?" "I am", replies the damsel.
For the rest of this story see Silva Gadelica II. 243.
Fiadmor's quest of Find's daughter Aé.
(Text: lines 6444—6493.)
Then the king of Connaught welcomed Cailte and enquir-
ed of him (saying): "Well, Cailte my soul, why was this place
called Fert Fiadmoir ('Fiadmor's Gravemound') and why was
this height to the west called 'Circall's Hill,' and why was the
hill beside it caUed 'Congna's Hill?",
Cailte answered this question, because he knew what it <^ /xslA£^^
ref erred to .
Find mac Cumaill had a good, very loveable daughter named
Ae Arduallach, and Fiadmor, son of Arist, king of Alba in
the east, sought her of her father. Find said that, if she her-
self wished to wed Fiadmor, he. Find, would not refuse him.
So the question was put to the damsel, and she said that she
would never sleep with a husband outside Erin. Then said
Find to his daughter: "I will give thee, my daughter, to the
man whom thou hast refused, even to the king of Alba." Now
the girl had a lover in the Fianns of Erin, namely Ailbe Airm-
derg ('Redweapon') from Athhs, from the borders of Feeguile, and
Ae said to him: "Ailbe, my soul, how wilt thou deal with me,
and Find giving me to the king of Alba?" Then Ailbe an-
swered: "Go under the safeguard of Goll, son of Morna, and
of the Fiaun of Erin, not to have compulsory wooing upon
thee." Then the damsel bound her safeguard on the three
equal famihes that were in the Fiann, namely, on the Children
of Morna, the Children of Báiscne, and the Children of Nemnann.
And she binds her safeguard on the whole of the Fiann, and
the Fiann accept it.
And this is the time and season that Fiadmor, king of Alba,
with three great battaHons, came to the Strand of Eothaile. His
248 Translation of parts of the Acallara omitted in Silva Gadelica.
two brothers, Circull and Congna, were along with him; and
a message came from them to Find, even to this cairn, (de-
manding) Fiadmor's wife. But the damsel refused : so Fiadmor said
that unless she were given him, battle against the Fiann woidd
be proclaimed by the king of Alba. And he declared that he
would not leave Ireland until either his wife was given him,
dead or alive, or the head of Find. Then said Find: "Let
three of you go to Ess na n-én ('the Cataract of the Birds') —
today called Ess Dara — and keep watch and ward against
the foreigners who are on the beautiftd Strand of Eothaile
in the north." So we three Fianns obeyed that order, myself and
Diarmait O' Duibni and Oscar, son of Ossian. And as we
reached the end of the strand we beheld three huge men
approaching us, and the six of us warriors met in the midst
of the strand. We asked tidings of them, and they said that
the king of Alba was there — three warriors in all — him-
self and his two brothers, Circall and Congna, — to seek a
'chance of slaughter' on the Fiann.
! gL*vJj^ ""^y ™y word," says Cailte, "if ye desire the Fiann to
^ suffer shame or want, ye should put your face upon us, and
^^J^, (then) we should be naught in Find's opinion." "And if," says
^^ ßi'*^ the king of Alba, "in his opinion ye were lacking, what is it
"^ to us that ye are not lacking to him?" .-'A^^^-'i -^/ •■
"So then," says Cailte, "we fought a duel, bloody, aggres-
sive, truly-venomous. Hands were moved quickly, blows were
» 1^ dealt boldly, hearts were hardened, and feet were stayed. "

(Text: lines 6632—6690).
And then the hosts came westward to Cluain Carpait
(' Chariot-lawn') in Breccthir — which is now called Firchuing
('True-yoke'). Patrick's chariot broke there, and after the frac-
ture of the pole, the saint sat down on a mound of sods. They
had not been there long when they saw (another) chariot
approaching them, with a young lad therein. Red as vale-
rian was each of his cheeks, blue as a hyacinth each of
his eyes, white was every Hmb in his body, and black as coal
was the shaggy mantle upon him. Thus he came towards
them. "It would be profitable for thee, O man of the chariot",
says Benen, "to help saint Patrick?" "Who is yon?" asks the
young lad. "Patrick, son of Calpurn", says Benen, "head
of the faith and the devotion of the men of Ireland." Then
the lad got ont of his chariot, and laid his head on Patrick's
breast, and said: "Not^good is this chaript^at breakingj^ and
i t is all for Patrick." "Grace wthout di\dsion (of district) to
thee and ^^_son and thy grandson! And what surname hast
thou, my boy?" asks Patrick^). "Dub ('Black'), son of Muirgius,
son of Tomaltach, am I/' he answered. "True it is", says
Benen, "he is very black {rodub)\ 'My good doom!" says Pa-
trick, "because of thy helpful service thy race and thy seed
shall always be (called) Htii Roduib ('Rodub's descendants').
"My service, both living and dead, to thee (alone"), says the
lad. "Nay," says Patrick, "at the end of a hundred years
from today, thy hving and thy dead mil belong to God and
to me for ever." And Patrick said:

Rodub, of much grace will a multitude of his raqe p^-rtake hence-
forward: from him (descends) one of the three gifted families in the terri-
tory of Connaught of the mighty host, etc.
"And I permit/' says Patrick, "the grindiugud (?) of every
decree and every covenant in which one of thy race shall be
concerned to be made in his favom-, provided it be just For
lovingly {co grinn) hast thou bestowed the chariot upon me."
They had not been long there when they saw another
chariot coming towards them, with two well -matched horses
harnessed to it. Therein was a ruddy woman, wearing a red
mantle, with a brooch of gold therein, and a frontlet of yellow
gold at her forehead. She alighted, and laid her head on
Patrick's breast, and knelt to him. "Who art thou, damsel?"
says Patrick. "Aifi the Red, daughter of Conall Costadach,
daughter of the king of Connaught, am I", quoth she. "I have vast
and treasui'ous wealth, and I have come to consult with thee —
for thou art the best man in Ireland — , as to whom I shall
wed." "Behold him there," says Patrick, "at one of thy hands."
"Who is he?" says the damsel. "Dub, son of Eodub,' says
Patrick. "What bride-price and present has he for me?" asked
the damsel. "What brideprice dost thou demand of the youth ?"
asks Patrick. "That I should be the only wife of him that
marries me; for I do not deem it fitting that I should be left
by him." "Dost thou accept that, O youth?" says Patrick. "I
accept," the youth answers, "whatever thou teilest me to do."
"If so, wed the damsel," rejoins Patrick, "and let thy children and
thy family be by her, and grant her that condition." So thus
he wedded her through saint Patrick's counsel. "But at present
we have no land," says the damsel, "and that is sad." "Where
is the king of Connaught?" asks Patrick. "Here, thou holy
cleric," says the king. "Grant land for me to this couple, who
gave me the right to advise them." Says the king: "the can-
tred of land that belongs to himself shall belong to them
jointly." And so they parted from him.
The story of the raths of Cass and Conall. 251
The story of the raths of Cass and Conall.
(Text: lines 6691—6757.)
That night the host came on to Berna na Con ('the Gap
of the Hound'). The king over that country was then Tiger-
nach, son of Conn the Mighty. When he heard the host
approaching him, he got a fit of grudging and niggardhness, and
he left his land and country, and fled from the king of Conn-
aught and Patrick. Patrick heard this and said: 'I pray to
God that the sway of another sept be on them for ever!"
Then the host sat down on the two raths that were there, half
the host at either rath.
Then the king of Connaught asked Cailte: "What are
these two raths on which we are?" "Two of Find's dear war- [
riors dwelt therein, even Conall Coscurach and Cobthach Cass,
two sons of the Idng of Tyrconnell in the north, two heroes and .• '^*-*
battle-soldiers and 'hurdles of a gap of hundreds.' They had
in Ireland inveterate foes, even the clan^ of Morna, and this
was the cause of their enmity. A hunt of SKeve Gam was
held by Find and the Fiann of Erin, and Conán the Bald,
son of Morna, chanced to be hunting along with the men on that
day. Now he was the méllgálacli of the household, and the
quarrelsome one of the council, and the contentious one of the
assembly; and he never sought justice fr'om any one, and he
cursed the man who gave justice to him; and through Conan
the Bald's curse the whole clan Morna died and perished.
Now a fierce savage stag was started by them there, and at
him Conan cast his spear. The two sons of the king of Tyr-
connell also cast their spears at the stag, so that they passed
cross- wise through him. Said Conan: "Let go the deer, my
men." "We will not let go," say the men. "Ye have not
Idlled him more than I, and it was I that first wounded him."
"By our word," say the men, "even though thou woundedst
him, he will not be yielded to thee; but we will give thee Find's
award." And Conan answered banningly: 'Curse on him who
shall give me justice, and I will not give it to anyone." Then

Conall raised his hand and dealt Conan a blow with the shaft
of his spear, and left on him a lump and a mark as thick as
the spearshaft. Then the bulk of the Fiann came between them,
l^fejtu and thus there was an intervention.; ~
^ Howbeit, Conan neither shewed grudge nor made reproach,
till the Children of Morna began plundering and robbing Find.
They were kilHng his fostersons and his dear ones; and they
came", says Cailte, "to Forba na fer ('the Men's heritage'), which
is now called Lenna in baili.
Then said Conan to GoU: "knowest thou, Goll, thou royal
champion, that the blow of a spearshaft was given me at the
hunt of Sheve Gam, by the son of the king of Tyi-connell, and
I desire to go and avenge that on them tonight. "By our
word," says GoU, "we should not wish a iriend of ours to
fight them, for they have the 'grunting of a single pig's brood.'
Says Conan: "I will attack them with four hundred warriors."
So he and two sons of of his brothers, named Taman and
Trén, arose, and, with the four hundred warriors, came to this
place in the very middle of the day. But four hundred then
attacked them," says Cailte, "and Taman and Trén straightway
fell by the two sons of the king of TjTConnell. And no one
(on either side) escaped to tell the tale or earn the wage, save
Conan alone, with the shng of his shield round his neck; and
he fared forth till he reached the place where his (other) brothers
were biding.
"Bad is this journey, Conan," say these brothers. "Through
thee have we faUen, and two sons of oui' brothers, and the
four hundred men who marched with thee." "So those eight
hundred warriors," says Cailte, "were buried here, and their
gravestones were raised over their graves, and thereon their
ogham-names were inscribed." And Cailte said:
The raths of Conall and Cobthach Cass are under the green-swarded
'' hill: there they are from that to this in the mound continually, etc.
"Great is the knowledge and true wisdom that thou hast
told us, Cailte," says the king of Connaught.
The story of Patrick's Well and the nine Witches. 253
The story of Patrick's Well and the nine Witches.
(Text: lines 6759—6788).
Then the whole host, having Patrick with them, fared
westward to the Witches' Brake, now called Patrick's Well.
And the king of the country, whose name was Conn the
Mighty, visited Patrick. "And tell us," says Cailte, "why this
is called the Witches' Brake?" "There were nine women,"
[says Conn], "who were practising witchcraft, and they let
from them neither woman nor man without being killed, and thus
for the space of twenty years they were wasting the heritage
and the land. And Conn said to Patrick: "Holy cleric, my
soul, drive fr'om us the witches and the ill-luck that are ruin- '
ing the country and the ground."
Then said Patrick: "Where is the 'son of the hours'?"
"Here, thou holy cleric," says he. "Look thou if there is water near
us." "I see none here," says the ecclesiastic. Then Patrick
raised his hand and thrust his (pastoral) staff against the
ground, whence a clear, pellucid well brake forth. And Patrick
blessed the water, and said:
/
The water we have here, saith sinless Patrick, 'twill be famous ,' .^
with every one, the shining radiant well. » — -
"I grant," says Patrick, "protection for three days and three
nights to whomsoever drinks aught of it, and help and succour to
him in every misfortune."
And they were not long there till they saw the nine dark,
savage witches approaching them; and if the dead were wont .
to rise out of the ground they would have uttered the screams
which were made on every side of them. But Patrick took
the holy water and sprinkled it on the witches, and they fled
fr'om him to the Isle of WaiHng — now called the Isle of the Shrine,
— in Findloch Cera. And there they heard the wail. &om them '-^' ^ ■■
at_the_end. The host afterwards sat down on the mound of '^* "^"
sods, and then the king of Connaught said: "'Tis a good cleric's
hunting you have shewn to the demons, O cleric!"

Cailte's Visit to Assaroe.
(Text: 6789—6918).
Then said Cailte to Patrick: "knowest thou, holy cleric,
the misfortune that befell me in the banded battle of Howth
in the east?" "What misfortune is that?" asks Patrick. ^Mane,
son of the king of Norway, had a virulent spear, and no one
struck by it ever escaped without death or blemish. There were
a hundred vahant warriors fighting against me in the battle, and
I was at the head of the fray when, without ray perceiving it,
'p ^f\j\^ * " Mane made a cast at me in the centre of the battle. I knew not
whence the cast came, but I heard the noise and rushing sound of
the spear as it sped to me, and I lifted my shield to guard
my head and my body. But this did not help me, for the
spear struck below on the calf and sinew of my leg, and left its
venom in the leg, so that I am compelled to go and seek for
help and succour." "Whither dost thou desire to go?" asks
Patrick. "Northward to Aed Minbrecc of Assaroe," says Cailte,
"for he has a wife, even Bé-bind daughter of Elcmar of the
,\ i^s st^ iA<í Brugh, and she has the Tuath de Danann's draught of leech-
dom and healing, and^with her is all that remains of Goibuiu's
ale, and 'tis she that dealt it to them. And brief were my
guidance and my road if Find mac Cumaill were ahve, and
Ossian and Diarmait and Oscar!' And then he uttered the lay:
Guidance to me from (this) country northward, to the Cataract of
Modorn of the mighty host, to have my leg healed, so that my journey
may he the longer, etc.
"And where is Cass corach, son of Caincenn?' asks Cailte.
'Here, my soul," says Cass corach. "Arise and take thy lute
upon thee so that we may wend ovlt way." And they arose,
and a paternoster was recited for them, and Patrick said to
Cailte: "At the end of the year there is an assembly at Tara
of the men of Erin. Come thither to meet us and the men
of Erin, that thou mayst relate some of thine own great deeds
of valour, and the deeds of Eind and the Fianns of Erin."
^ Cailte agreed to this, and said: "What thing soever thou hast

told me, that will I do." "'Tis meet for thee to say that,"
quoth Patrick, "for to me thou art dear and loveable." Then
Cailte bade farewell to Patrick and to the king of Connaught
and the whole host, and forth they fared to the Elfmound of
Druim Nemed, — now called Sid Duma — in Luigni of Conn-
aught. When they reached the green of the elfmound they
saw a youth clad in a green mantle with a brooch of gold
therein, and on his head a golden diadem, and what he was
singing was melodious music. Cass corach came, and the youth
bestowed three kisses upon him. "A¥hat," says Cailte, "is the
cause of thy friendship, for hitherto h,e has been unknown to
thee?" ^Good cause have we,' replied the youth; "we have
the same mother." "And what is thy name, my boy?" asks
Cailte. 'Fer-maisse ('man of beauty'), son of Eogabal, is my
name," says the youth. "Meseems it is not an excessive name
for thee," says Cailte, "for thy beauteousness is sufficient."
"Come ye into the house," says the youth. '*I -will not
go," says Cailte, "until thou gettest leave from the folk of the
elfmound, lest the blame of my intrusion be put on thee.' Then
the youth entered the elfmound, and told this to Fergus Fairhair,
the Dagda's son. "Go out for them," say they, "and bring them
into the elfmound, for never have we heard of a warrior's

into the elfmound, and were well entertained with all the best
they had, and there they abode for the space of a night.
"Well, Cailte, my soul", says Fergus, the Dagda's sou,
"I have a swordhilt, and I wish thee to put it to rights,
for the Tuath de Danann have refused to do so." "Let it be
placed in my hand," says Cailte. So the sword was delivered
to him, and for the whole fair day till night he was arranging
it, and he finished it by night, and put it complete into Fer-
gus' hand.
"And kuowest thou, Cailte, my soul, our real reason for
repairing that sword?" "Truly I know not", says Cailte. "A
warrior has long been at enmity with the Tuath de Danann,
namely, Carl), son of Tarl), king of Norway in the north. And

a spearhead) against that she-brave." So he put the spear into
his hand, and Cailte fitted it. "And behold," says he, "the
barbed javehn in thy hand: fit it against the third of them"
(Eolus). So Cailte took the shaft, and it broke in its socket,
and seven shafts were brought to him, and they too broke in
the socket. But the eighth shaft that was put into his hand,
he fitted skilfully and strongly. 'Blessed," says Fergus, "were
he who should get a friend to undertake that the three against
whom these weapons were made should fall by them!"
"What names (have) these weapons?" asks Cailte. 'Blood of
manghng' is the name of the sword," answers Fergus, "and 'War-
like Woman' is the name of the spear, and 'Drink of death'
the name of the javehn." "It was my fate", says Cailte, "to do
some deed for which the men of Erin and Alba and the Tu-
ath de Danann would be thankful. I did it not in my youth.
Who knows but that my fate is that I should do it today?'
"Who shall fall by the sword?" says Cass Corach. 'The
she-brave," answered Fergus. "Who shall fall by the javehn?'
says Fer-maisse. "One of the two kings of the world or of
Norway, or of Erin," says Fergus, sou of the Dagda. "And
who shall fall by the spear?" says Cailte. "Garb, son of Tarb,
king of Norway: the Tuath de Danann have a prophecy that
by it he will iiill." "Let the spear be in my hand," says
Cailte.
After that they remained there for three days and three
nights. Then they bade farewell to the folk of the ehinound.

and brought those weapons with them, Fer maisse accompa-
nied them, and they fared forth to the Cataract of the Birds,
now called the Cataract of the Oak, and to the Bridge of
the Nines, now called the Bridge of Maiming, and northward
to the Red Ridge of the Fiann, now called Druim cliab,
and over the Ford of the Grey Stag, and to the Wood of the
Contention, (now) called Buadnatán's Church, and to the
Grave of the Champion, where the pig fashioned by magic killed
Diarmait O'Duibni, and northward into the Plain of Cetne,
son of Allguba, — where their tribute used to be dehvered to
the tribe of Fomorians by the men of Erin, i.e. the Tuatha
de Dananu, — and up to the Footstep of Assaroe and to
the Height of the Boys, where the boys of the Tuath de
Danann used to play their hockey. In front of the elfmound
were Aed of Assaroe and Ilbrecc of Assaroe; and they wel-
comed Cailte without guile or fraud.
"Dear to us is this welcome!" says Cailte. And then
Bé-bind, daughter of Elcmar of the Brugh, came forth sur-
rounded by her thrice fifty fair women, and sat down on the
turfen mound, and gave three kisses, lovingly, fervently, to each
of the twain, Cass corach and Fer-maisse. And the folk of the
elfmound welcomed them and Cailte; and they said: "Bad
were your friendship if ye heard that we were in great ne-
cessity and came not to succour us!' "Not for prowess was I f IJt
prayed (to come) ," says Cass corach; "but when ye deem it P^'y'^. a*m**-t^
fitting or desirable for me to shew my skill I will display it unto "f
you." "Not at all for valorous deeds have we come hither",
says Fer maisse; "but we will help you when ye need." Then
Cailte related his en-and and his journey to the folli of the
elfmound. "We will leech thee well", say they. And then
they (all) entered the mound, and abode therein, for three days
and three nights, carousing and making meiTy.
And a man who came to the door of the elfinound re-
ported that the haven was full of vessels and boats, and that
a vast army had landed on the shore above. "And it cannot
be counted ." Cailte said: /^i ^jf u C^*^(Lf H^ t^ (T* ^**^ *

"Well, Cailte, my soul, my royal champion!" say they,
"what is meet for us to do ?" "Ye should ask them for a tmce", ^
answers Cailte, "until the Tuath de Danann make a gathering
and a muster." And thus was it done. The Tuath de Danann
assembled, so that on the morrow there were twelve battalions
on the green of the elfmound. And envoys came to them from
the fleet, saying to the men of Erin: "Let the Tuath de Da-
nann give us hostages." "How shall that be done, Cailte?"
said the folk of the elfmound and the chiefs of the Tuath de
fiuQ Danann. Answered Cailte : "Let us send ,these twelve battalions
ItÄV vJ*«^^ of_oiu-s to the end of the shore to observe them." So those
twelve battahons marched forward, and Cailte said: "Hath any
of you a . . . chariot?" "/ have," says Midir Yellowmane, a
son of the Dagda. So it was brought to them, and Cailte
got into the chariot, and the spear (called) "Warhke Woman,
,. ,- . was given to him. The outlanders arranged a fenc e of shields
about them; but then Cailte set his left knee against the cha-
riot, and put his valorous fore-finger into the thong of the
spear, and dehvered a cast at the king of Norway, so that the spear
sped straight to him and miserably broke his back in twain. The
king fell in the midst of his army, and his soul thus parted
from his body. And Cailte said:
Garb was slain at the beginning, amid his host in the van. Cailte
killed him with his virulence, by a fatal cast that was cruel.
Then his people carried king Garb into his vessel, and
the army said: "A great deed the man has done, to have
killed with a single cast him who was best in the world!"
Hence 'the Shore of Garb' is the name of the shore after him.
Then said the she-brave to the host: "Board your ships",
quoth she, "and I vsdll face the Tuath de Danann." And
then Cass Corach enquired of the Tuath de Danann: "Have
ye for me a hard and strong shield?"

The killing of three birdflocks from Sliab Fuait. 259
How Cailte and his comrades killed three bird- „^/t-vu/w
fl ock s^ from Sliab Fuait.
(Text: lines 7126—7137.)
That was the time and season that three ruddy beautiful .
bii:dflocks came from the borders of/Sliab Fuait in the north i^*-^*^ j<^^*^
to the green of this elfmound. They ate the grass down to
the gravel and bedrock and bare flagstones. Ilbrecc sang:
Three bald flock s, ruddy, thick, beautiful, come and graze the green, amaä'Vi
leaving not enough for a single race. _
"What are yon?" asked Cailte. "Three bjjdflocks that ^^*^
come to us every year, and they leave nothing on the green
outside without eating it down to the gravel and bedrock." Then
Cailte and his comrades threw three throwing-stones that lay
before them, and the birdflocks fell thereby. "Take success and
a blessing!" say the elves: "good is the deed ye have done."
Cailte's running and the Chase of Sliab Lugda.
(Text: lines 7354—7398.)
They fared forward to Les na mban (^the Garth of
the Women') on Cúil Radairc, now called Coolavin, and en-
tered the fortress, where they were well served that night.
There they remained till the morrow, when day came with its
full radiance. And then his left leg caused pain to Cailte
for the day, and kept him from walking. And a warrior of
the house was saying to him: "Great the vigour that has been
shewn by that leg, though tonight it is in sickness and ill
health!" And Cailte uttered the lay:
I ran from Tara of the troops — this is truth and no lie — thrice
I carried off from it three score hundred first bloods.
" For the truth of thy valour and gallantry, O Cailte, thou
king of the Fiann," says Blathmec, "tell us the cause of thy
racing against them." Then said Cailte:
The first of the runs that I made brought many to grief, when I
took — fair was my run — a couple of every wild animal. The run that

was next thereto — 'tis the truth and no falsehood — when I put . . .
y(^ under a cliif the . . . and ... of Erin.
"Great was that vigour, O Cailte," says Blatlimec. "It
was great," answered Cailte; "for from one day to the next I
sped from Tonn Chdna in the south to Tonn Rudraigi in the
north." And Cailte said:
This is my run on the third day — 'tis the truth and no falsehood
— when I cast calves to cows in beautiful, chilly Erin.
"And that, Blathraec, my soul, is the cause of those runs
as to which thou didst enquire."
Then they heard the concert of three packs of hounds hunt-
(^^ . i^<vIäaJ"^ W ing round the head of^Sliab Lugda with Taiglech, son of
Ailill, king of the Connaught Luigni. "What is this chase,
Cailte?" says Blathmec. "A chase by three packs of hounds,
with three quarries ahead of them." "What are those quarries ?"
asks Blathmec. "The chief chase wliich the packs achieve is
the chase of fierce wild stags and bulky hinds." "And this
pack after them?" asks the warrior. '^That is the melodious
chase by beagles after swift and gentle hares." "And this third
pack?" says Blathmec. "That is the furious and urgent chase
after heavy boars, killing them vehemently." "What is this
fourth chase, Cailte," asked Blathmec. "The chase of heavy-
sided, low-belhed badgers." And behind the hunt they heard
the shout of the giUies, and the swiftest of the boys, and the
readiest of the warriors, and the men who were the straightest
shots, and the strong slaves who bore the greatest burdens. On
that day Cailte and Blaithmec were at the rear of the hunt;
l)ut the warrior (Blaithmec) went forth to see them (the packs);
and just as Cailte had said, so they were.
Cass corach's marriage, the Praise of Find, and the
beginning of the story of the Hill of Guidance.
(Text: lines 7537—7564.)
"And thou, Cass corach," said Cailte, "what is thy mind
about her?" "My mind is this," he answered, "that of the
Cass corach's MaiTÍage, and the Praise of Find. 261
world's women never have I seen one that pleased me better
than yon damsel." "What then," asked Cailte, "hinders you from
coming to an agreement?" "(Be it) according to thy will
and thy counsel," replies the damsel. "The men of Erin will
be holding the Feast of Tai"a," says Cailte, "and there thou
wilt be given to Cass corach, and the ollaveship of Erin
and Alba Avill be confen-ed upon him, and thou wilt be
wedded to liim mth the rights of a single wife." "When
will the Feast of Tara be held?" asked Cass corach. "At the ^ . jj
end of a quarter hence," answered Caüte. 4-^ ^-^' /a>*^«^m^ ^oúi TrCC^O«
Thereafter Cailte was lauding Find, and then he said this:
"Better than all that have come of Banba's host, both kings and
crownprinces, is Find, the high battle -soldier of Allen."
"Great is that testimony, my soul," said Patrick. "It is
not (too) great," rejoined Cailte; "for were there seven tongues
in my head, and seven sages' eloquence in each tongue, not half •
nor a thii'd of his excellence would be_uttered b y m e as to ^ ^^f^^
Find." And this was his reason; because Find had never
refused aught to anyone, pro^'ided he had a head to consume
(the food bestowed on him) and legs to go away (with the
rest of the bounty). And Cailte said:
Him that no one would leave in his house Find would ^fiayejuti
7ms house: besides that, he would be with Find so long as he was alive.
"Success and benison attend thee!" says Patrick: "well hast
thou said thy say."
After that the hosts fared forward to Cnoc in Eolairi,
to the north-west of Cruachan. "0 Cailte, why was this hill
called Cnoc in Eolahi?" asked Patrick. "The one man of
the children of Adam and of the comely human throng whose
shape was best was Eolair, son of the King of the great
world in the east; and he, with nine hundred wolfdogs and nine
hundred servants and nine hundi'ed warriors, made his covenants
and his fellowship with Find.

The story of Bairnech and the slaying of Scothniam.
(Text: lines 7597—7677.)
And thereafter they bade the damsel farewell, and came
on southwards to the Hillock of the Assembly, now called
the Cah'n of Fraech, son of Fidach. They found before them
on the cairn a man whose hair was rough and very gray. He
wore a dun mantle with a hollow pin of bronze therein: in
his hand was a long staff of white hazel, and in front
of him was a herd of kine in a fenced grass-field. Cailte sat
down beside him on the hill. "Who art thou, my soul, my warrior?"
asks Cailte. "Bannech, son ofCarbh, ami," answers the warrior,
"the steward of the king of Erin, even Diarmait mac Cairill;
and in this district I hold land fi'om the king of Erin."
"Whence is thy origin, my soul?" says Cailte. "From CoUamair
of Bregia in the east," says the warrior. "And knowest thou,"
says Cailte, "who was the best that ever came out of Collamair?"
"I know, and the men of Erin and Alba know. 'Tis Cailte,
son of Bónán; and dost thou know where that warrior is?"
"I know," answers Cailte. "He is making a circuit of Erin where-
soever his comrades and his fosterbrothers used to be in his
company; and 1 am that man," says Cailte, "and I am thy
first cousin, for we have the same grandsire."
Then Cailte bestowed upon him three kisses, lovingly and
fervently, and Bairnech made a beautiful welcome before him.
"And 'tis thy right way thou hast come, my soul, my royal
champion," says he; "and at the end of a week hence comes
Patrick along with the nobles of Connaught to the Druid's
Grave" — which is now called Geidech's Grave — "and do

best cows in every herd she takes, and there is no pursuing
her, so that she gets (back) into the elfmound. And neither myself
nor my sons," says the warrior, "are athletes; for our share of
vigour and might is in thee and in the two sons that thou hadst,
namely Colla and Faelán." "Good indeed was CoUa's vigour,"
says Cailte. "What vigour had he beyond the other son?"
asks the warrior. "It chanced that he played a match at
di'aughts one night on the rampart of Tara, because the wife
of Bind Boinde, the steward of Tara, had fallen in love with him;
and they — that is, Colla and the Fianns of Erin — had a
match at running and di'aught- playing. "How would ye fain
have the race?' says Colla to the Fiann. "Let you, the three
battalions of the Fiann, set your faces in one direction, and I
will run backwards"^). And thus the race was run, and he
took away the draughtboard from the Fianns of Erin. And he
went over the summit of Benn Etair out into the sea, and was
drowned therein. And alas," says the warrior, "that it is not
he whom I have met (?), for (then) my cows would not be
lifted without vengeance."
"Cass corach," says Cailte, "knowest thou which of the
Tuath de Danann yon damsel is?" "I know," he answered:
"it is Scothniam, daughter of Cassime, the wizard/ Out of the ^/
elftnound of Cruachan here sk^ makes this plunder upon thee. ív)^^
Cathmog, son of Fircheip, the son of the king of Bregia and
Meath, killed the damsel's father and grandsire, and she is taking
vengeance (for them) on each of you, one after the other."
Then they fared forward to the warrior's stronghold, Less
na Fleide ('The Garth of the Feast') on the western side of
Fraech's Cairn, and there they were well tended for three days
and three nights. "Well, my soul, my wai-rior," says Cailte,
"meseems that tonight is Halloween." "If it be," says the
warrior, "'tis then that the damsel comes to plunder and rob us."
"O Cailte," asks Cass corach, "how would it be for me to go
tonight to the door of the elfmound?" "Go, my soul, and

JUß^ \? ) long afterwards he saw the damsel passing by them out of
the elfmound: a beautiful, one-coloured mantle about her, with
a Ijrooch of gold therein: a smock of yellow silk at her skin,
a knot of the smock between her thighs, two spears in her
hands; and she had no great fear from the side she faced,
and little was her fear from the side behind her. Then Cass

Cailte sang:
Cass corach of the melodies killed the furious girl — 'twas no sin: at the
1^ j^^y- dooj of the elfmound in the north, and in one hour triumphed over^ her.
And then he beheaded her, and brought the head to the
warrior and to Cailte. "Behold," said he, "O warrior, the head
of the girl that used every year to wreak plundering and rob-
bery upon thee." And after that they were there for three days
and three nights.

Then said the same man: "Cailte, my soul, knowest thou
the other persecution which I suffer in this countiy?' "What
persecution, my soul?' asks Cailte. 'Three she-wolves issue
every year from the Cave of Cruachan, and destroy all our
wethers and sheep, and we get no chance at them till they

is that set?" asks Cailte. "If they were to see harps and
lutes with the world's men, they would tnist to them." "Then
they mil trust to (the minstrel) Cass corach," says Cailte. "And
whither are they wont to come?" "To Bricriu's Cairn here,"
repUes the warrior. "And how would it be for me," says Cass
corach, 'to go tomorrow and carry my lute to the top of the
cairn?" So, early on the morrow, he arose, and went to the
top of the cairn, and kept playing and performing on his lute
until the fall of the evening clouds. And as he Avas there,
he beheld the tlu-ee wolves coming towards him, and they lay
down before him, Hstening to the music. But Cass corach
found no means of attacking them, and at the close of day
they went away from him northward to the Cave. Cass corach
came back to Cailte and tells him this tale. "Go there again
tomorrow," says Cailte, "and say to them that, for hstening to
music and minstrelsy, they would be better in shapes of hu-
mans than in shapes of wolves." So on the moiTOw Cass
corach fared forth to the same cairn, and he ranged his people
around it, and the wolves came thither, and couched on their
forelegs, listening to the music. Then Cass corach kept saying
to them: "If ye were humans," quoth he, "by origin, listening
as humans to the music would be better for you than hstening
to it as wolves." And they heard this, and cast off the long
dark coverings that were round them, for dear to them was
the entrancing (?) music of the elves. And as they were side
])y side and elbow by elbow, Cailte beheld them, and put
his forefinger of valour into the thong of the spear, so that
the spear in its virulent coiu-se passed through fe^^-of 4iie- l^ {Mr\X /
women, and landed in the top of the breast of her that was
farthest from liim. And thus they were on the spear, like
a skein close-drawn together. As Cailte said:
Cailte with his venom killed the strange unknown trio, so that they
fell, etc.
Then Cass corach went to them, and struck off their three
heads. So from then till now the Glen of the Wolf-shapes is

"Good is the prowess thou hast wrought, O Cailte!" says
Cass corach: "today it was not an old man's prowess, and
well it Avas'for thy minstrel to be in thy company." "And
what better' [says Cailte], "is the prowess that I wrought than
the prowess of the minstrel? For thou beguiledst them from
the shapes of wolves into the shapes of humans."
Then they fared forward to the warrior's fortress, having
the heads of those three women as prize of slaughter and
triujnph; and there they abode for three days and three
nights.
The death of the king of Connaught's wife: Patrick's
meeting with Cailte and Cass corach; and the king's

(Text: lines 7726—7843.)
That was the time and season when saint Patrick reached the
Druid's Grave, now called 'the Grave of Gedech, a bishop of
Patrick's community, who dwelt there. Or it was Gedech,
Maive and Aihll's wizard, who fell there. And thither came
Aed son of Muredach, king of Connaught, to Raith cháirech
Medba ('the rath of Maive's sheep'), now called the Mairtine
of Conra's son. And on that night a sore lung-disease attacked
the king of Connaught's wife. Be bind, daughter of Eochaid
Redside, king of Leinster; and there she died, and was buried in
Ard na n-Aingel ('the Height of the Angels') — now called Uarán
Garaid — for thrice did a thousand angels come thither to
speak with Patrick when he was reciting his (canonical) hours.
Thereafter came the king of Connaught to the Druid's
Grave, where saint Patrick was biding; and they made a
gathering and muster of the province of Connaught from Liac
Essa Lomanaig ('the Flagstone of Lomanach's cataract'), now
called Limerick, to Ess Ruaid meic Modufrn ('the Cataract of
Ruad son of Modorn', Assaroe).

Patrick's meeting with Cailte and Cass corach. 267
As to Cailte, he and liis people fared forward from the
Garth of the Women to the place where Patrick was staying with
the nobles of Connaught, and there he laid his head on Patrick's
breast. And the Connaught nobles welcomed Cailte and Cass
corach. "By om- word," say they, "never since you parted from /^ ^^ % ' .
us have we seen twain that Avere dearer to us than you." ^ "^"'^^*^'^
"By my word," says Cailte, "never since Find departed, have
1 seen a band that was dearer to me than you." And Cass
corach /arose, and laid his head on Patrick's breast, and knelt
'S. '
to him. "Palm of eloquence on thee, my son," says Patrick;
"and let every thii'd word uttered by men of thine art seem
melodious to every hearer, and let one of them possessed of
thy skill always be a king's bedfellow and the torch of every
assembly!" And unto Patrick the arrival of that pair was a
dehght of spirit and nature.
Then Patrick asked Cailte's tidings from the time they
separated till Cailte came to him again. And Cailte told him
true tidings. 'Well, Brocán," says Patrick, "let Cailte's tidings
be written down and revised by thee, so that they may not
be lost, and that they may be a pastime to the multitudes and
the nobles of the end of time."
"And holy Patrick," says Cailte, "what are t}hy tales and
tidings from the time I parted with thee till today?" "Here
they are for thee," says Patrick: "Maelán, and Mugán, and
Brothrachán, and Dubchú of the Wiles have been banished
from Oenach Derg" — now called Achad Abair Umaill.
Patrick sang:
The well which I left in the land, and my two untroubled salmon:
they will remain there till the white Judgment, I will tell thee, dear
Cailte.
"Fer benn, and Fer boga, and Fer gabla, three brothers
who were doing evil and injustice in the west of Ireland, and

I di'ove them forth into the sea over Ailén in tsnáma" ('the
Isle of the Swimming-place"), — wherefore it is now called
Ailén na ndeman 'the Isle of the Demons.'
268 Translation of parts of the Acallam omitted in Silva Gadelica.
Patrick sang:
My bird and my water and my eagle, and my beautiful holy
Cruach: they will be a safeguard from me to every one in transgression.
"And well, holy Patrick, my soul," says Benen Mór, son of
Aed, "what dost thou ordain to be our word as to that (place) for
all who go to the earth of the Cruach and drink the water
of the Dabar?" "They shall be in thy power, both old and
young. And I have left (my word) that the place be a place
of the holy and true, and that whosoever shall there commit
evil or wrong or fraud shall have decay of children and kin-
dred and people; but my blessing to him who shall honour it
and defend it!"
"So these, Cailte, my soul," says Patrick, "are my tidings and
adventures during the year that thou hast been absent from me."
"Success and benison attend thee, holy Patrick!" says
Cailte: "great is the profit thou hast left in that place to
the Gaels."
On that night then, his tent was spread over Patrick, and
a camp was pitched by the king of Connaught for a fortnight
and a month, until the five great provinces of Erin should come
to hold the Feast of Tara. And they built a secret secluded
house for Cailte between the king's house and Patrick's tent
— the reason why it was so built being that each of the two
(the king and the saint) might have the enjoyment of hstening
to him.
I Then Cass corachjtook his lute and sent them into a long
slumber and sleep. And they rose on the morrow, and a
M . draughtboard was brought them to be played upon. Three of
c«^ *- ^^*^ urÄ t^^ ^6n were found lacking, and the king -averred that non« like
tj^'siW* ^§r)jk- them- were to be gotten in Erin or Alba.'' Then said Cailte:
aaSV «^ v^ «Do not play until I go and seek a draughtboard which
%J^ once upon a time I b«li«14-wheü- -htdin-g -it." So forth he
^ítxP **^^ fared eastward to the head of SHab Clithair, — now called
Sliab Baghna — , and out before the the elfmound (there)
he saw a solid pillar-stone. Bound the pillar he put his ai-ms
and heaved it out of the earth, and there was a strong lid of

stone on a draughtboard in the place of the pillar, and a hd
beneath it. And he lifted out the Solustairtech , the di'aught-
board of Goll son of Moma, and took therefrom three men
of gold and three men of silver. Then he put the board into
the same two compact coverings of stone, and came back to
the king of Connaught, and placed the men in his hand; and
each of them was as big as the fist of the biggest man in the
host. "And was there nothing more than this?" quoth the
king. "There was indeed," says Cailte — "tluice fifty men of
gold and thrice fifty men of silver." "What induced thee,"
rejoined the king, "not to bring me the board?" 'It was not a
di-aughtboard that thou askedst of me, but three men for
plapng draughts, and I gave thee qein ^cus athqein ^ ; and I >^
will not stir the board fi'om the place into which the wanior
to whom it belongs put it." So then the men were put baok 5/
on the board. "And who owned the board?" asks the king
of Connaught. "Goll son of Morna," answered Cailte. "Pity .

Fial-chorcra, daughter of Bodb the Eed, son of the Dagda,
coming to them, with thiice fifty Tuath de Danann ladies in
her company. The damsel sat down on the tmfen momid
along wdth St Patrick and the king of Connaught, and told
them her eiTand. "x\nd what is thy reply to her, O king of
Connaught?" says Patrick. "Whatever thou mays t say and wish Imucv
me to do, that I will do," says the king. "I wish to_marry <fi»^ í^ ^***^ '^
h er to thee, ." says Patrick, "for I promised her that thou
wouldst wed her, provided she rejected her false druidic behef
and knelt to the Gospel of the King of heaven and earth."
"Dost thou agree to that, O damsel?" asks the king. "I
agree," repHes the damsel. So she and her train of ladies arose,
and they all knelt to Patrick, and Patrick joined her and the
'more than enough?' 'enough and to spai-e?' lit. 'birth and like.'

king in wedlock, and as authors reckon, that was the first
marriage that the Adzehead performed in Ireland. "And the
wedding-fee?" says Benén Mór, "Ye shall have," says the
king, "the choice of the homesteads of every tribe fironi Liac
Lomenaig" — now called Limerick — "to the Flagstone of
Assaroe." "And," says Benen, "the fee from thee in retm-n,
Patrick, to the folk of the province?" "I will grant," says
Patrick, "that three kings of their race shall capture Erin, and
the prosperity of Erin at the end shall be theirs without
extinction." Then Brocán wrote down those blessings^ on the
province of Connaught, and also all that had been given to
Patrick. And on that night, after the feast of bedding and
handspreading, that couple slept together, even Aed, son of
Muredach, and Aillenn Fialchorcra, daughter of Bodb the Red.
The story of the Stone of the Mistake.
(Text: lines 7844—7882.)
On the morrow the king rose early, and upon the hill hard
by them was a huge mass of rock. The king set his back to
the pillar stone, and inquired of Cailte: "Why was this stone
called Lia in imracail '(The Stone of the Mistake')?"
"Once upon a time," says Cailte, "v/hen the sons of
Morna came to Cuaill Cepain in Echtge of Connaught, plun-
dering and robbing Find and the Fiann, we, three battahons
of the Fiann, marched southward to the top of Slieve Cairn in
the district of Corcomroe. And Find was doubtful as to the
doings of the sons of Morna, that is, he knew not whether
they had gone southward into Munster or past them north-
ward into the province of Connaught. So he ordered his own
two sons, Uillenn and Caince, to march with their Fiann and
their people into Munster to get news of the sons of Morna,
and for the same purpose he despatched Aedán and Cathal,
the two sons of the king of Ulaid, together with two hundred
lit. leavings, which may he either curses or (as here) blessings.
The story of the Stone of the Mistake. 271
warriors, into the dear and beautiful province of Connaught.
Now there were two sons of the king of Leinster in his (Find's)
presence: their names were Conla and Cellach; and they, with
(other) two hundi'ed warriors, followed their fosterbrothers
(Aedán and Cathal), and overtook them, so that in all they
were four hundred warriors. They came to this place," says
Cailte; "and every day they used to scout from Ath Colta to
Ath Berrcha, seeking the Children of Morna, and every night
they used to come here. And Find marvelled at the doings
of his people, for no messenger reached him from them.
Then we, the three battahons of the Fiann, arose
and found the track of the host before us, and it seemed to
us to be the track of the Children of Morna: so we closed
round them (at night), hand in hand, and killed them quickly,
both gilhe and warrior, the three [leg. four] hundred men that
they were. But on the morrow, when day came with its full i u. '
radiance, then we recognised our own people, and we uttered ^^ /
three great cries, bewaiHng those whom -^ had killed in error. ^^/
And Find ordered a royal pillar -stone to be sought for those
dear four, the two sons of the king of Ulaid and the two sons
of the king of Leinster. So I," says Cailte, "and Ossian went
to Eáith Medba" — now called Eaith Chaerech Medba — "and § Jtí -í^
there we found this sJttme, and we fetched it hither and planted /^*^ py«^
it here above these men."
"Success and benison attend thee, Cailte my soul!" said
the whole host. ^Great is the lore and the disclosure of truth
which thou givest us upon all that is asked of thee!"
Hence this stone is called 'The Stone of the Mistake,'
from the mistake of Find and the Fiann, when they killed
thefr own people, supposing them to be the Children of Morna.

taphorically applied to the clouds of night. So the Vedic poets regard the

a small rod, an ingot, or a chain: it certainly does not mean the 'rim'

3033. Fixing the amount of a penalty by the weight of the person

tesquieu's time, if the students of Pisa on St. Catharine's day caught
a Jew in the streets, they weighed him and made him pay his weight in
sweetmeats, Ihe Quarterly Review, July 1899, p. 55. Compare 5693, where
the bride-price of a fairy princess is similarly determined, and note that
still in India a rájá sometimes gives his weight in gold to Brahmans. It
would be rash to cite Iliad XXII 351 — ovo' si' xsv a'avrlv XQ^*^^
