- extent: covers multiple recensions
- Old Irish Middle Irish
Recension A is Old Irish and has been dated to the middle of the 8th century.(3)n. 3 Kuno Meyer, ‘Gauls in Ireland’, Ériu 4 (1908–1910).
The later Recension B predates the compilation of LU (AD 1106). "How much earlier than this date [...] remains open to question since it also preserves a number of Old Irish forms. At any event, the almost complete absence of independent objective pronouns in the Lebor na Huidre copy suggests a date of composition at least some fifty or more years before previous to A.D. 1106" (Hull).(4)n. 4 Vernam Hull, ‘The later version of the expulsion of the Déssi’, Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie 27 (1958–1959): 15 note 5, referring here to John Strachan, ‘The infixed pronoun in Middle Irish’, Ériu 1 (1904): 177.
