The destruction of Da Derga's Hostel (Author: [unknown])

section 41

Now plunder was taken by the sons of Donn Désa, and five hundred there were in the body of their marauders, besides what underlings were with them. This, too, was a tabu of Conaire's. There was a good warrior in the north country, ‘Wain over withered sticks,’ this was his name. Why he was so called was because he used to go over his opponent(?) even as a wain would go over withered sticks. Now plunder was taken by him, and there were five hundred in the body of their marauders alone, besides underlings.
