Description
Finn úa Báiscni is shown to assist Lugaid and his army in pursuit of the poet Ferchess:
RINGCNE quasi quinque: inde dixit Ferches (the poet) when Finn ua Baiscni was reckoning every pentad in succession of the hosts of MacCon, to seek the Fian of him i.e. Ferches (e). Then Ferches passed with fury [?] by Finn, and cast his spear at Lugaid so that he was dead, and he said Ringcne (quasi carincne) rus rig 'a little pentad is a king's reproach' (f) for this was what Finn used to say still when he was counting every pentad in turn.[1]
In the fuller version of this episode in Scéla Moshauluim, Finn is said to use imbas forosnai to find Ferchess.
