One day, Diarmait is feasting with his wife Mugain, daughter of Concraid mac Duach (of the Éoganacht of Cashel), at his side. Mugain is carrying their son Áed Sláine (in her womb). When the feasting company is cooling off outside, Diarmait's nephew Suibne son of Colmán Mór approaches with a large company of horsemen, whose appearance is described in some detail. Just as Suibne joins the assembly, a loud cry is heard coming from Mugain. | One day, Diarmait is feasting with his wife Mugain, daughter of Concraid mac Duach (of the Éoganacht of Cashel), at his side.

Just as Suibne joins the assembly, a loud cry is heard coming from Mugain. Diarmait's prophet (''fáid'') Becc mac Dé explains to him that the cry is a sign of things to come: his unborn son (Áed Sláine) will one day slay Suibne. | ||
At this point, the story elaborates that the prophecy had indeed come true and that Suibne's son Conall had later avenged his father's death on Áed Sláine. | |||
