W. 389. On the first stage the hosts went 1from Cruachan,1 they slept the night at Cul Silinne, 2where to-day is Cargin's Lough.2 And 3in that place3 was fixed the tent of Ailill son of Ross, 4and the trappings were arranged, both bedding and bed-clothes.4 The tent of Fergus macRoig was on his right hand; Cormac Conlongas, Conchobar's son, was beside him; Ith macEtgaith next to that; Fiachu macFiraba, 5the son of Conchobar's daughter,5 at its side; 6Conall Cernach at its side,6 Gobnenn macLurnig at the side of that. The place of Ailill's tent was on the right on the march, and thirty hundred men of Ulster beside him. And the thirty hundred men of Ulster on his right hand had he to the end that the whispered talk and conversation and the choice supplies of food and of drink might be the nearer to them.
