Cucuc. Attend to the warrior that seeks to kill thee." Then it was that Cuchulain glanced at him and then it was that he raised and threw the eight apples on high 5and cast the ninth apple5 a throw's length from him at Cûr macDa Loth, so that it struck on the disk of his shield 6between the edge and the body of the shield6 and on the forehead 7of the churl,7 so that it carried the size of an apple of his brains out through the back of his head. Thus fell Cûr macDa Loth also at the hand of Cuchulain. 8According to another version8 9it was in Imslige Glendamnach that Cûr fell.9
