Early Irish poem, 4 qq of which are quoted in the Annals of Ulster, in an entry sub anno 688 concerning the battle of Imlech Pich. The poem, here attributed to one Gabaircenn or Gaborchenn, laments the deaths of two leaders on the side of the Conailli, Dub Da Inber and Uarchride. On the grounds that quatrains 2-3 are metrically distinct from 1 and 4, Kuno Meyer expressed doubt if all four quatrains originally belonged together.

A brief Irish poem (6 qq) about Deichen, son of the Dagda. Details of the story suggest a merging of two characters from Irish tradition: (1) Deichen in certain narrative developments of an Irish triad about the three things that constitute a blacksmith (originally from the Bretha nemed), two of which are associated with the Dagda and the Morrígan; and (2) the Meche or Meiche who is featured in the dinnshenchas of the river Barrow (in one version of this text, Meiche is identified as a son of the Morrígan and the Dagda; in another, at least of the Morrígan).
