Note 15 — Chapter XVI

Reading edition

The first verse runs thus:—

"Ni beir Luimneach for a druim Di sil Muimhneach i Leth Cuinn Marbán in noi bu fiú do Do Cuimmine mac Fiachno"—

"The lower Shannon bears not upon its surface, of Munster race in Leath Cuinn, any corpse in boat, equal to him, to Cuimin, son of Fiachna." His corpse was apparently brought home by water.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
