Reading edition
Additional Notices in Lib. Arm. (338₄, liberauit rex Deo et Patricio). The exact boundaries of the land are given, as if from the original document. Two interests were concerned here, that of Caichán and that of MacCairthin, and the land is described as “Caichán’s Fifth.” The two men are designated as flaith (lord) and aithech (tenant-farmer?), and they jointly devoted the land to ecclesiastical use.
