Item description
One day, when Éogan is making his circuit through Connacht, he and his fosterbrother Lugaid Mac Con go to visit Art mac Cuinn (king of Tara).
As they pass the Maigue, near a waterfall, they meet a little man, who sits in a yew-tree above the waterfall playing beautiful music on his three-stringed timpán. Both Éogan and Mac Con want to have the musician, who later (§ 7) appears to be Áne's brother Fer Fí, in their service. A dispute arises and they decide to submit the case to Ailill for arbitration.
