Note 3-3 — Footnotes.

For as long or as short a space as 3these bold champions and battle-warriors3 were engaged in this work of exchanging their two short spears—for it was not in a moment they had accomplished it—the Brown Bull of Cualnge was carried away in quick course and career 4by the eight great men4 to the camp 5of the men of Erin5 as swiftly as any beeve can be brought to a camp. 6They opined then it would not be hard to deal with Cuchulain if only his spear were got from him.6 From this accordingly came the greatest shame and grief and madness that was brought on Cuchulain on that hosting.
