Item description
Clidna, daughter of Genann son of Trén, was in Tulach Dá Roth (‘Hill of Two Wheels’) in Mag Mell of Tír Tairngire (Land of Promise). Together with Iuchna Cíab-fhaindech she was on her way to Mac ind Óc, but Iuchna played a trick on her: as she lay in a boat of bronze, he played soporific music to her. When she was asleep, he changed course, going southwards around Ireland until she was at Clídna.
