second part of the story
The sequence of events according to CS, AT and AFM (continued):
- Conchobor úa Briain, king of Munster (Mumu), handed over the thief [Gilla Comgáin].
- Gilla Comgáin testified before his death that he had seen St Ciarán preventing him from setting sail.
- He was hanged at:
- CS: Dún Clúana Ithair
- AT: Dún Clúana Íochtair (as edited by Stokes), but recte ‘D. C. Ithair’ (Gwynn, MD).
- AFM: Dún Clúana Bhriain
- The so-called Dublin Annals of Inisfallen have D. C. Iardam.
For the emendation of D. C. Íochtair to D. C. Ithair, see E. J. Gwynn, The metrical dindsenchas, vol. 4 (1924): 452–453. Dún Clúana Bhriain (AFM), which occurs for Dún Clúana Ithair or Dún Clúana Íchtair in CS and AT, is identified by John O'Donovan (ii 1035) as a fort in Cloonbrien, Co. Limerick.
