& táinic Crédhi dár n-acallaim, & trí cáecait do mhnáibh uimpi. & do ráidh in flaith-féinnidh ría: ‘Is dod thogha-sa & dod thochmharc tháncamar-ne’, ar sé. Fíarfaigis an ingen cía dhár áil a tochmharc. ‘Do Cháel chétghuinech úa Neamhnainn, do mac rígh Laigen an-air’. ‘Do-chúalamar a scéla’, ar an ingen, ‘gengu facamur é; & in bh-fuil aigi mu dhúan damsa?’ ‘A-tá imorra’, ar Cáel. & do éirig & do ghabh a dhúan:
  1. Turus acam Día h-Aíne
