Eleanor Knott published an edition of the text under the title Why Mongán was deprived of noble issue (after the concluding sentence), and it is listed more recently as Scéla Mongáin ⁊ Echdach Rígéicis in Dan M. Wiley, ‘An introduction to the early Irish king tales’ in Essays on the early Irish king tales... (2008).
- Eochaid Rígéiges ardfili na Herend
- Early Irish
“apparently belongs to the same period of composition [as Compert Mongáin, Scél asa m-berar... and Scél Mongáin]” (Knott).
