Item description
When Éogan Taídlech stays with his father Mogh Neit at Ráith Airthir Femhin, three youths, who later appear to be the three sons of Antipater the Druid from Spain, come up to him. They predict for him a bright future in which he will acquire a third name (Éogan Fidech); his sons will rule over Ireland and when they do, he will assume rule himself; when he has reached the river Éber in Spain, he will find his spouse, namely the daughter of the king of Spain, who will bear him four children: namely two sons, Ailill and Lugaid, and two daughters, Coemill and Scothníam.
