270. Eochaid Ronn, king of Hi Maini, lived in the time of Ailill and Medb. There was a royal mane golden-yellow, dark-long upon him, so that it would be on the sides of the steed whereon Eochaid was riding. There was a tie (ronn) of red gold in that hair: it was a golden chain the weight of which was seven ounces. Hence he was named Eochaid Ronn.

271. Satni, that is Sat-ine, family of Satan .i. e. the Devil. For Satan was in the company of Lula Littenach from whom the Satni (descend). From him they were called Satni.

272. Senchn Torpest, i.e. Senchn whom a pistor monster profited when the spirit of wisdom appeared under a hideous form. At the time that Senchn went on a circuit into Scotland the spirit of poetry came in the shape of a loathly monster to meet him on his road, and conversed with him in the obscurity of poetry. Hence he was so named

23-24-25-26ad=26298 days in 72 julian years

26ad 72 julian Egyptian calendar years = 26298 days plus precession of the equinox = 26298 + 1 day torque westwards = 26299 days in 72 julian years

274. Medb of Cruachu and Cruachu itself, whence are they? Easy to say. Cruachu, that is Crchen the Red-skinned, the handmaid of Medb's mother Etin, 'tis from her that Medb of Cruachu and Cruachu itself got their names.

275. Cormac Conloinges, whence is it? Easy to say. 'Tis he that was head at the exile, and was chief of the Black Exile with Fergus son of Roich, when Fergus went in exile into the province of Connaught. For Cormac was one of the guarantors for the sons of Uisnech. And he was afterwards called Cormac the Champion of the Cairn. Thereof said the poet:

Cormac Conloinges, the Champion of the Cairn,
Hence he got that mighty name,
He was conn (head) of the loinges (exile) without disgrace.
He caused woe to the Ulaid.

276. Nia in Chairn again to mention. The White Cairn of the Watching, 'tis at that cairn he was champion, protecting his own province; for the four other provinces were in a warlike alliance against Conchobur and the province of Ulster, and Cormac Conloinges was champion of the five provinces at yon cairn. Hence was Cormac (called) Nia in Chairn Some of the learned assert that every place wherein there may be five stones, or any other five things, or the five provinces of Ireland, is properly called a cairn. So that hence Cormac was Nia in Chairn, that is, champion of the five provinces, etc. .

277. Munremur mac Eirrcind. Whence is it? Easy to say. Once upon a time Cet mac Magach entered the province of Ulster. A cry about him is raised. Mac Eirrginn answered the champion Cet. Cet made a spearcast at Mac Eirginn, and struck him in his neck. The neck (munl) swelled up so that it became thick (remur). Hence he bore (the nickname) Munremur.

278. Sl-cholg 'Heel-sword' and Mend ('Dumb') his son, whence are these additional names upon them? Easy to say. Cet mac Magach entered the province of Ulster on a foray. A cry about him is then raised. Sl-cholg answered him, and his son Mend. Cet gave a cast of a spear to Mend, striking him in the gullet and through the root of his tongue, so that he was dumb (mend) thereafter, and he gave a blow of his glaive, that is, of his sword, to Sl-cholg over his leg, and cut off his heel, so that he was lame thereafter. Wherefore the nicknames, Mend and Sl-cholga, were conferred upon them.

279. Cuscraid Mend Macha ('the Dumb of Macha'), whence in it? Easy to say. This was a custom of the Ulaid. Every young son of theirs who first took arms used to enter the provnce of Connaught ou a foray or to seek to slay a human being. So once upon a time Cuscraid, son of Conchobar, entered the province of Connaught. A cry is raised around him. Then Cet answered him. Cet wounded Cuscraid through his mouth, and shore off the point of his tongue, so that he was dumb (mend) thereafter

280. Lm Gbaid 'Hand of Danger', whence is he (so) called? Easy to say. Once Cet mac Magach invaded the province of Ulster. A cry is raised around him. Lm answered him, and the twain then encountered. Cet gave the champion a sword-blow in the conflict, and struck off one of his hands, so after that he was forced to retreat from Cet. Hence then he is called Lm Gbaid ('Hand of Danger'), for it was a great danger (gbud) to him to have his hand (lm) cut off, and he himself to be then forced to retreat from Cet.

110011001100110011001100110011001100110011001100First century A host to whom high deeds are truly easy,Of the race of Fergus of Uladh. Fergus of Uladh, i.e., Fergus Mac Roigh, exiled king of Ulster, in the first century, from which Let us turn our breast to the race of Fergus, Race of Fergus, ex-king of Ulster, in the first century. This Fergus, surnamed Mac Roigh, had three sons by Meadhbh, queen of Connaught, namely, OHarts gives some light to the semi-mythical ancestors:THE LINE OF IR 63. Ros Ruadh: son of Rory Mr; married Roigh, daughter of an Ulster Prince.
64. Fergus Mr: his son; commonly called "Fergus MacRoy" or "Fergus MacRoich," from Roigh, his mother, who was of the sept of Ithe;

282. Fergus son of Roch, whence is it? Easy to say. Roich, daughter of Eochaid son of Daire, his mother, from her he was named. Or maybe Roch, daughter of Ruad, son of Derg Dath-ola, from the elfmounds, was the mother of Fergus mac Roich and the mother of Sualtach mac Roich, and 'tis she that bestowed on Sualtach the magical might of an elf, and from her he was called Sualtach Sde 'of the elfmound'. was King of Ulster for three (some say seven) years, and then forced from the sovereignty by his cousin, Conor MacNeasa, where-upon he retired into Conacht, where he was received by Maedhbh (Maev) Queen of that Province, and by her husband Oilioll Mr, and, sustained by them, was in continual war with Conor MacNeasa during their lives. Maedhbh was the daughter of Eochy Feidlioch, the 93rd Monarch, who gave her in marriage to his favourite Tinne, son of Conragh, son of Ruadhri Mr (No. 62 on this stem), with the Province of Conacht as a dowry. This prince was slain at Tara by Monire, a Lagenian prince, in a personal quarrel; 158. Maccecht, that is, a son (macc) that committed the cruelest homicide (cht), for he killed in combat his own brother, even Tinne son of Connra. Now Tinne was at that time king of Connaught, and Monodar, son of Connra, killed him, whereupon for that homicide which Monodar had perpetrated (the name) Macc-echt was given him. Conodar was his proper name. and Maedhbh soon after married Oilioll (who was much older than she was), the son of Ros Ruadh by Matha Muireasg, a Lagenian princess. Oiliol was far advanced in years when Fergus Mr sought shelter beneath his roof at Rath-Craughan, in Roscommon, and the Queen Maedhbh, being young, strayed from virtue's path, proved with child by Fergus, and was delivered of three male children at a birth. The names of these princes were: - According to the native genealogists these three sons of Fergus and Maedhbh ought to stand in the following order 1. Conmac, a quo Conmaicne-Mara (now Connemara), 1. Conmac; ------- Connemara Conmaicne Cuile Tolaigh (now the barony of Kilmaine, co. Mayo), Conmaicne Magh Rein (the present co. Longford, and the southern half of the co. Leitrim), Conmaicne Cinel Dubhain (now the barony of Dunmore, co. Galway). 65. 1.Conmac: eldest son of Fergus Mr, by Maedhbh; whose portion of his mother's inheritance and what he acquired by his own prowess and valour, was called after his name: "Conmaicne" being equivalent to Posterity of Conmac. The five Conmaicne contained all that (territory) which we now call the county of Longford, a large part of the counties of Leitrim, Sligo, and Galway; and Conmaicne Beicce, now called "Cuircneach" or Dillon's Country, in the county of Westmeath, over all of which this Conmac's posterity were styled Kings, till they were driven out by English adventurers. 1172ad Hence the Conmaicne here are claim to descend from Fergus and Queen Maeve of Ulster Cycle story of the TainBo Cuailnge.

283. Car son of Fergus, that is Mog Taeth. Corc the Red, son of Fergus, that is Fer Deoda. C, sou of Fergus, that is, Conmac was his name, and Lugaid Conmac was another name of him. Mog Ruith, son of Fergus, Tigernach was his name at first. Car, that is, dark (odar) was his face beyond the other sons. Another name of Ciar was Mog Teth, that is, servant of Taeth, i.e. Taeth, son of Dega son of Sen, of Munster, who fostered him, and from him he is called Mog Taeth. Whereof the poet said in the Elucidation:

Teth son of Dega, a man with spirit,
To him was servant a young son of Fergus.
From him (came) the Aes Teth for stay of judgement,
In Tr Tri Ross Roduibni. 1. Conmac, ancestor of all the Conmaicni of Connaught and Moy-Rein. See O'Flaherty's Ogygia, part iii., c. 42 and 46. It is a step due as a just debt. and many other famlies in Munster are descended.

283. C, sou of Fergus, that is, Conmac was his name, and Lugaid Conmac was another name of him. In the 1803 An Introduction to and an History of eireby Sylvester OHalloran; which seems to contain anglized version of one of or more Irish Genealogical tracts that place the origin of families. He identifies the OMarchahan belong in descent from Cormac Cas ruler of Thomond and North Munster. DAL gCAIS

Another name of Ciar was Mog Teth, that is, servant of Taeth, i.e. Taeth, son of Dega son of Sen, of Munster, who fostered him, and from him he is called Mog Taeth. Whereof the poet said in the Elucidation:

In Tr Tri Ross Roduibni. 2 Ciar, ancestor of all the Ciarraighe; O'Conor Kerry, O'Conor of Corcumroe, O'Loughlin, O'Lochlainn, hero over battalions, O'Lochlainn, now O'Loughlin. - This family has been somewhat more fortunate than their relations the O'Conors, for there are some respectable gentlemen of the name, as O'Loughlin, of Newtown, and Sir Colman O'Loghlen, but their pedigrees have not been made out with anything like certainty.
Is over the soft drop-scattering Borinn, Boirinn, i.e., a rocky district, now the barony of Burren, in the north of the county of Clare. It was originally considered a part of Corcomroe, and called East Corcomroe; and it is curious to observe that the abbey of Corcomroe is situated in Burren.

165. Cormac Cs, that is, Cormac the cruel, because of his cruelty. Or Cormac Cass, that is, swift, for he was swifter than anyone in his time. And (we have) an example of this word when a certain harper teaching his pupil said to him : "play it co cass", that is, quickly.

3. Corc, a quo Corc Modhruadh (or Corcumroe); and Dal Meadhruaidh,hosts of Macha, Dal Meadhruaidh. - This was another name of the 3 Corca Modhruadh. They are called the host of Macha, because they came from Ulster, where Eamhain Macha was the name of their original palace. 283. Corc the Red, son of Fergus, that is Fer Deoda. 284. Corc, i.e. crimson (corcra) was his face, that is, he was red and ruddy. Fer deda, now, was another name of Corc, for it was deda, that is, it was later, that Medb bore him than Ciar and Conmac.

See Annals of Four Masters, A.D. 1573, p. 1669, note u. The country of Corcomruadh was originally coextensive with the diocese of Kilfenora, and comprised the present baronies of Corcomroe and Burrin, in the north-west of the county of Clare. The bard here, following the tribes genealogically, jumps from Kerry to Clare to describe the territories of the race of Fergus of Ulster. The families of O'Dicholla, O'Maoileitigh, and O'Draighnen, of Sliabh-Eise, are now unknown in this territory. The name O'Draighnen is extant in other parts of eire, and anglicised Drinan. Sliabh-Eise may be the present Sliabh Eilbhe, on the confines of Burrin and Coromroe baronies.

O'Conchobhair, now O'Conor. This family had considerable possessions in the barony of Corcomroe, in the year 1584, and for some time after; but at the present day, there is not a man of the race above the rank of cottier or small farmer. The hills of beautiful Conach. Conach. - This was probably the old name of the river Farsett, which rises in Binn Formaoile, and falls into Lisconor Bay, near Duagh Castle.O'Lochlainn, hero over battalions, O'Lochlainn, now O'Loughlin. - This family has been somewhat more fortunate than their relations the O'Conors, for there are some respectable gentlemen of the name, as O'Loughlin, of Newtown, and Sir Colman O'Loghlen, but their pedigrees have not been made out with anything like certainty. Is over the soft drop-scattering Borinn, Boirinn, i.e., a rocky district, now the barony of Burren, in the north of the county of Clare. It was originally considered a part of Corcomroe, and called East Corcomroe; and it is curious to observe that the abbey of Corcomroe is situated in Burren. Over Tealach Chuirc by right, Tealach-Chuirc. - This was the tribe name of the O'Loughlins.

283. Mog Ruith, son of Fergus, Tigernach was his name at first. 285. Fer Tlachtga, son of Fergus. Tlachtga, daughter of Mog Ruith, was his wife. Tis from her he is called Fer Tlachtga 'Tlachtga's husband'. 287. Mog Ruith, whence is it? Easy to say. Roth, son of Rgoll fostered him. A famous druid was that Roth. Hence he was (called) Mog Ruith 'Roth's servant. Or Mog ruith, that is 'magus rotarum', for 'tis by wheels that he used to make his magical observation. Since Mog Ruith did service to that Roth son of Rigoll, he was called Mog Ruith. Tigernach was his name at first till Mog Ruith was put upon him. It endeth. Extracts from the Book of Lecan. 12. Firtleachta, or feartlachta and Chief king of Ara over every tribe, Ara, now the barony of Ara or Duhara, in the north-west of the county of Tipperary. The people of Ara are of the Ulster race of Rudhrighe, being, according to the Irish genealogists, descended from 12 Feartlachta, the son of Fergus Mac Roigh, king of Ulster in the first century. See Ogygia, Part III., cap. 46. There was another territory of this name called Ara Cliach, situate in the county of Limerick.

76. Connachta, whence is it? Easy to say. A contest in wizardry took place between two wizards of the Tuath d Danann, named Cithnellach the druid and Conn the druid. Conn brought a great snow all round Connaught, so that from then till today the name Connacht clave to the province, that is, Cuinn snechta, the druid Conn's snow.

Or Connachta, that is coin-echta, i.e. cht con 'the slaughter of the hound'. 'Tis they, the Connachta, that killed Ailbe the hound of Mac da th ('son of two silent ones'). Hence they were named Connachta. Or Connachta i.e. Cuinn-achta, that is achta Cuinn 'the deeds of Conn', for 'tis he that forcibly made swordland of Connaught, for acht and 'deed' mean the same.

77. Ciced Olncmacht 'the Province of Olnecmacht' was said of them (the men of Connaught. Why so?). Easy to say. A banquet was prepared for them and for the Children of Dega in the house of Domma the druid, and the men of Connaught came (thither) first, and they shared not the ale and the food fairly with the Children of Dega, but drank up two thirds of it mightily. Wherefore the druid then said: "Uncomradelike (?) is this drinking (l) ye do", quoth he, that is, it is cumachta, i.e. cumtha. Therefore from that to this (the name) Province of Olncmacht clave to the province of Connaught.
