W. 2283. "I will go forth and attack him," cried Loch. Loch went to attack Cuchulain, 1to take vengeance on him for his brother,1 2for it was shown him that Cuchulain had a beard;2 so they met on the ford where Long had fallen. "Let us move to the upper ford," said Loch, "for I will not fight on this ford," since he held it defiled, 3cursed and unclean,3 the ford whereon his brother had fallen. 4Now when Cuchulain came to look for the ford, the men drove the cattle across.4 5"The cattle5 6will be across thy water here to-day," said Gabran6 7the poet.7 8Hence cometh Ath Tarteise ('the Ford over thy Water') and Tir Mor Tarteise ('the Great Land over thy Water').8 Thereafter they fought on the upper ford 9between Methè and Cethè at the head of Tir Mor,9 10and they were for a long space and time at their feats wounding and striking each other.10
