An Irish bardic elegiac poem on Díarmait Mac Murchada. Only seven quatrains are extant, having been copied into an erased space of the Book of Leinster, but left incomplete. The purpose of the poem seems to be stated in the third quatrain, in which the poet sets out to enumerate every territory (gort) and every hostage (giall) that belonged to Díarmait, suggesting that the full poem would have been a caithréim or catalogue of his victories.

Poem (28 qq) by Cathal Mac Muireadhaigh, addressed to Colla Ciotach.
Medieval Irish poem (53 qq) on a hunting expedition by the sons of Eochaid Mugmedón and their encounter with a hag who transforms into a beautiful woman, a story known from Echtra mac nEchach Muigmedóin. This is followed by her prophecy of kings from the Ó Conchubhair dynasty, beginning with Toirrdealbach and concluding with In Crobderg, who is readily identifiable as Cath Crobderg, king of Connacht (r. 1202–1224).
