Meanwhile a hollow array of men was made by Medb to face Conchobar and a 1warlike1 band of thirty hundred ready to close in from behind. Conchobar proceeded to attack the circle of men, 2to force an opening.2 And he was far from seeking any particular breach, but he worked a small gap, broad enough for a man-at-arms, right in front over against him in the circle of combatants, and effected a breach of an hundred on his right side, and a breach of an hundred on his left, and he turned in on them, and mingled 3among them3 on their ground, and there fell of them eight hundred fully brave warriors at his hands. And thereafter he left them without blood or bleeding from himself and took his station in Slane of Meath at the head of the men of Ulster.
