Item description
fír, i.e. white (find); thus Fachtna mac Sencha said: ‘I pronounce upon them (fortomidiur) three stone (dírna) of silver as compensation for three white (fíra) cows, each one of dark appearance between the scales of Lugba, beautiful to the eye, well-formed’.
Such was the appearance of the cows of Iuchna Echdi Echbél (na n-erc nIuchnæ Echdi Echbeoil) [?] from Alba, which Cú Roí took from the Ulaid. Previously, the cows of Echde Echbél used to graze from the peak (aird) of Echdae Echbél, from Alba [across the sea] into the territory of the Dál Riata, until they reached Seimne Ulad. However, Cú Roí carried them off from the Ulaid.
