verse
7 st.
beg. Easbach díoth Diarmada Duirghean
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.
