Thereafter 2on the morrow2 Medb proceeded with a third of the host of the men of Erin about her, 3and she set forth by the highroad of Midluachair3 till she reached Dûn Sobairche in the north. And Cuchulain pressed heavily on Medb that day. 4Medb went on to Cuib to seek the bull and Cuchulain pursued her. Now on the road to Midluachair she had gone to invade Ulster and Cruthne as far as Dûn Sobairche.4 5There it is that Cuchulain slew all those we have mentioned in Cuib.5 Cuchulain killed Fer Taidle, whence cometh Taidle; and 6as they went northwards6 he killed the macBuachalla ('the Herdsman's sons') 7at their cairn,7 whence cometh Carn macBuachalla; and he killed Luasce on the slopes, whence Lettre Luasc ('the Watery Slopes of Luasc'); and he slew Bobulge in his marsh, whence Grellach ('the Trampled Place') of Bubulge; and he slew Murthemne on his hill, whence Delga ('the Points') of Murthemne; 8he slew Nathcoirpthe at his trees, Cruthen on his ford, Marc on his hill, Meille on his mound and Bodb in his tower.8 It was afterwards then W. 2016. that Cuchulain turned back from the north 1to Mag Murthemni,1 to protect and defend his own borders and land, for dearer to him was 2his own land and inheritance and belongings2 than the land and territory and belongings of another.
