Do ratad co mac Raith meic Naingin í dia baisted et ro baist. ‘A cléirigh’, ar Crimthann, ‘ag sin in ingen si deit úaim-sea & don Coimdidh a cinta na mná romarbus-sa dar sáruccud Dé.’ Beiridh iarum in cléirech in ingen lais. Nos-altramann iaram co cenn secht m-bliadan í. Atnaig in cléirech leis co Cáirigh n-Dercain hí & mos-aithin aicce í do léigenn lé.
