On satire: Athairne and his quarrel with the river Modarne [...]
The text opens with a poem uttered by the Ulster poet/satirist Athairne. It occurs somewhere in the middle of a story about his opposition against the river Modarne, which is said to have flooded and 'plundered' much of Tir Eogain. Because of Athairne's speech, the river recedes to the sea, leaving behind many of the valuables which it had taken from land.

See also Fergus Kelly, A guide to early Irish law (1988): 138 and note 100; also CIH 725.7-13: a few lines prior to the point at which the copy of TCD 1317 begins are preserved here.
