Dála Pátraic immorro, tainic amach asin pupaill, ⁊ suidis ar an bh-fhirt fótbhaigh; tr. Ann Dooley • Harry Roe, Tales of the elders of Ireland (1999): 33–34. Patrick sits on the earthen mound where Oisín’s son Oscar once fought his first battle. Caílte explains that it was fought over Níam, daughter of Áed Donn, king of Ulster. Oscar loved her, but she was promised in marriage to Áed, son of Fidach, king of Connacht. The two rivals met in battle, Oscar with the Fían and Áed with the aid of reinforcements sent to him by Cormac, king of Tara. Áed and Níam’s father were killed in the event, while Oscar was victorious. Broccán, Patrick’s scribe, records the tale in writing.
