Imshlige Glendamnach
prose
An early Irish tale of the Ulster Cycle referred to in both recension I and II of Táin bó Cúailnge as well as version B of the Middle Irish tale-lists, whose gnath-scéla section includes it along with several known episodes of the Táin. It seemingly dealt with a large battle at Glendamain or Glendomain/Glenn Domain. The battle described in the brief episode Bángleó Rochada is identified as such in recension I (YBL, but not in Stowe), if renamed in recension II. There are hints, however, of an alternative narrative that did not entirely find its way into the extant texts of the Táin.

Inis Dornglais ro gab Crimthann
prose
A brief prose passage found in the Book of Leinster, which summarises events in the power struggles between Brían, Fíachra and Ailill, sons of Eochaid Mugmédon, including the poisoning of Crimthann mac Fidaig, king of Ireland, by his sister Mongfhind. The text highlights some of the place-names in that story. Because the manuscript page is worn at the right edge, the text is now partly illegible.

Introduction to the Dinnshenchas Érennprose
Introduction to the Dinnshenchas Érenn. It is in the form of a short story which asserts that the collection was composed by Amairgen mac Amalgada, poet of Diarmait mac Cerbaill (d. 565), high-king of Ireland. When the men of Ireland were convened at Tara, the poet fasted on Fintan mac Bóchra (a survivor of the Flood, according to other tales) for three days and nights, so that the latter would reveal his knowledge of the notable places of Ireland.
