O'Dugan also mentions these tribes, as follows: Na sé Sodhain na seachnam, / A riogha gan ro seachmall; / Maith sluagh na bh-fhoghadh bh-foghlach, / Dan' dual Sodhan sleagh-armach. 'The six Sodhans let us not shun, / Their chiefs are without oblivion; / Good the host of plundering excursions, / To whom the spear-armed Sodhan is hereditary.' O'Flaherty in his Ogygia, Part III. c. 66, p. 327, says that there were several tribes in Ireland of the name Sodan, all deriving their name from Sodan, the son of Fiacha Araidh, king of Ulster, about the year of Christ 240. His words are, 'Sodanius ipsius [Fiachi Araidh] filius, Sodaniorum sator, qui Sodaniam Aitchi in Fernmoya, Ultoniae regione, Sodaniam in Media, et Sodaniam in Hymania Galviensis agri ditione praeter siquas alias incoluerunt. De his antiquariae et poeticae facultatis Wardaeorum et O'Duveganorum familiae prodierunt.' It appears from this and other more ancient authorities that the Sodhans of Hy-Many were not of the same race as the Hy-Many themselves. The exact extent of the cantred of the six Sodhans cannot now be determined; but the situation of O'Dugan, and of Muine Chasain, the seat of the poet Mac Ward, who were two families of the six Sodans, will point out the whereabouts of the entire cantred. It appears from the Felire Aenguis that the churches of Cill Conain and Cill Modhiuid, or Church of Saint Simplex, were in this cantred. An additional evidence of its situation is obtained from a passage in the Chronicon Scotorum, at the year 1135, that O'Mannin, now Mannin, was the chief of this cantred, and this family had their head residence at Menlagh-O'Mannin, near Castle Blakeney, from time immemorial; so that it is rational to conclude, that Menlagh and the other possessions of O'Mannin in its vicinty, formed a portion of the cantred of Sodhan, or Soghan, the ancient territory of O'Mannin. The passage in the Chronicon Scotorum, above referred to, is as follows: 'A.D. 1135.— Maidm Mongaighe re Sil Muiredaigh ar Ibh Máine, ubi multi ceciderunt, um Concopar h-Ua Cellaigh, ocus h-Ua Mainnín, ri Sogain.' 'A.D. 1135.— The Battle of Mongach was gained by the Sil-Muiredhaigh over the Hy-Many, ubi multi ceciderunt, together with Conor O'Kelly, and O'Mannin, king of Soghan.'
