The heroes {100h} marched to Cattraeth with the dawn,

But none of them received protection from their shields,

To blood they resorted, being assembled in gleaming armour; {101a}

From an elevated position {101c} he slew, with a blade,

In iron affliction, {101d} their steel-clad commander; {101e}

He subdued the Mordei that owed him homage; {101f}

Before Erthai {102a} even an army groaned. {102b}
