Item description
Finn set up camp at the ford [Áth Guill], where Goll lay fast asleep [st. 13]. Iollann [i.e. Goll] had remained awake for 17 thirds of a day, whilst living on a single draught of water and five berries of the rowan-tree [st. 14]. This is why Goll was exhausted and famished when Finn moved from ‘Clídna’s wave’ to Corrslíab (the Curlew Mountains) [st. 15].

Iollann [i.e. Goll] had remained awake for 17 thirds of a day, whilst living on a single draught of water and five berries of the rowan-tree [st. 14]. This is why Goll was exhausted and famished when Finn moved from ‘Clídna’s wave’ to Corrslíab (the Curlew Mountains) [st. 15].
Murphy suggests that st. 14, being in regular deibide and imperfect in rhyme, is an interpolation, so that the same may very well hold true for st. 13 and 15.
