Item description
Éogan and Fíacha Súighthi discuss how to approach business. Fíacha suggests that they bestow gifts on the druid and arrange the wedding a year from then in order that they have the time to learn more about the king's daughter and the customs of her country, but Éogan prefers a quicker course of action. Éogan makes known to the king's messengers that he is ready to talk business whenever the king is ready.

In his translation, O'Curry inserts a comma between Fiacha and Súighthi, as if they were names for separate individuals, but this is probably an unintentional error.
