Prose text and poem on the dinnshenchas of Slíab Fúait.
Dinnshenchas tale, in prose and in verse, which begins with an etymological explanation of Slige Dála and proceeds to account for the names of the five chief roads leading out of Tara (Slige Dála, Slige Mór, Slige Midlúachra, Slige Chúalann and Slige Assail). In copies of the prose text of recension C, the story of Airne Fíngein is cited as a source and followed by a poem said to have been uttered by Fíngen mac Luchta on the night he witnessed the wonders from that tale.
