Note 367 — Chapter V · THE FOUR KINGDOMS.
Reading edition
Tighernac has, in 621, ‘Cath Cindelgthen in quo ceciderunt da mic Libran mic Illaind mic Cerbaill. Conall mac Suibne victor erat et Domnall breacc cum eo. Conaing mac Aedan mic Gabrain diversus est. Bimudine eiceas cecinit.’cecinit.’ The poem may be thus translated:—
‘The resplendent billows of the sea,
The sun that raised them
My grief, the pale storms (are)
Against Conang with his army
The woman of the fair locks
Was in the Curach with Conang.
Lamentation pursueth with us
This day at Bili Tortan.’
In the tract on the Men of Alban the descendants of Conang are called ‘the men of the half portion of Conang, or half of the tuath or barony.’—Chron. Picts and Scots, p. 315.
