Note 15 — Darthool and the Sons of Usna

Given as in the Gaelic: ciugear agus tri fichead agus tri chead. Large numbers are in Gaelic invariably built up thus (instead of, for example, as here, four hundred and sixty). In an old Irish-Gaelic version the particular number here is given as “five and three score above six hundred and one thousand” (i.e., 1,760).
