The Ancient Irish Epic Tale Táin Bó Cúalnge

Note 11-11 — Footnotes.

Joseph Dunn translation

The four of the five grand provinces of Erin took up the march until they reached the Sechair 11in the west on the morrow.11 Sechair was the name of the river hitherto; Glaiss Gatlaig ('Osier-water') is its name henceforward. 12And Glaiss Gatlaig rose up against them.12 Now this is the reason it had that name, for it was in osiers and ropes that the men of Erin brought W. 1599. their flocks and droves over across it, and the entire host let their osiers and ropes drift with the stream after crossing. Hence the name, Glaiss Gatlaig. 1Then they slept at Druim Fenè in Conalle. These then are their stages from Cualnge to the plain (of Conalle Murthemni) according to this version. Other authors 2of this Work2 and other books aver that they followed another way on their journeyings from Finnabair to Conalle.1
