In the fuller version of this episode in ''[[Scéla Moshauluim ⁊ Maic Con ⁊ Luigdech | Scéla Moshauluim]]'', Finn uses ''[[imbas forosnai]]'' and in this way senses the presence of an extra man (Ferchess) in their company, exclaiming ‘A man on the track!’. Ferchess lays a charm on the spear, saying ‘rincne ...’ and Mac Con, taking no heed of Finn's repeated warnings, is killed by it. | In the fuller version of this episode in ''[[Scéla Moshauluim ⁊ Maic Con ⁊ Luigdech | Scéla Moshauluim]]'', Finn uses ''[[imbas forosnai]]'' and in this way senses the presence of an extra man (Ferchess) in their company, exclaiming ‘A man on the track!’.

Description
Finn úa Báiscni assists Lugaid Mac Con and his army in pursuit of the poet Ferchess:
RINGCNE quasi quinque: inde dixit Ferches (the poet) when Finn ua Baiscni was reckoning every pentad in succession of the hosts of MacCon, to seek the Fian of him i.e. Ferches (e). Then Ferches passed with fury [?] by Finn, and cast his spear at Lugaid so that he was dead, and he said Ringcne (quasi carincne) rus rig 'a little pentad is a king's reproach' (f) for this was what Finn used to say still when he was counting every pentad in turn.[1]
In the fuller version of this episode in Scéla Moshauluim, Finn uses imbas forosnai and in this way senses the presence of an extra man (Ferchess) in their company, exclaiming ‘A man on the track!’. Ferchess lays a charm on the spear, saying ‘rincne ...’ and Mac Con, taking no heed of Finn's repeated warnings, is killed by it.
