A great hosting in Connachta by MacWilliam and the majority of the foreigners of Ireland, and also Ó Briain and Cormac Mac Carthaig, and they came to the territory of Ó Flaithbertaig. Ó Flaithbertaig gave them battle at the [river] Gaillim, and that same Cormac was wounded there when advancing on the ford, as the poet said:

    1. {Domnall's son about whom every woman is wanton,
      In a strait is a warrior like Lugh
      From Áth na Gaillme he flinched not—
      Not everyone dared to go against its stout defence.
He returned to his house, and the foreigners and the Gaedil ransacked the country generally. And they banished from it Aed, son of Ruaidrí, having slain Donn Catha Mac Oirechtaig, and they took the hostages of Connachta and gave the sovereignty to Feidlimid, son of Cathal.
