215. Three reverent sisters: usefulness, an easy bearing, firmness.
216. Three woman-days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. If women go to men on
those days, the men will love them better than they the men, and the
women will survive the men.
217. Three man-days: Thursday, Friday, Sunday. If women go to men on
those days, they will not be loved, and their husbands will survive
them. Saturday, however, is a common day. It is equally lucky to them.
Monday is a free day to undertake any business.
218. Three duties of guarantorship: staying (at home), honesty,
suffering (?); staying in one's residence, honesty lest he utter
falsehood, suffering (?) payment, viz. letting oneself be stripped for
an illegal action instead of the debtor.
219. Tri brothchain ratha: eir[i]c no thognim fecheman no dithechte.

219. The pottages of guarantorship: wer-geld or a debtor's ... or
non-possession (?)[107]
[107] Obscure and probably corrupt. Cp. Sec. 139.
220. Three things hard to guarantee and to become a hostage and to make
a contract for: to go security for constructing the fort of a king, an
oratory, and a caldron. For it is hard for a man of a family to be given
with (?) his fellow.[108]
[108] I cannot make out the meaning of _doberim fri_.
221. Three things that are undignified for everyone: driving one's horse
before one's lord so as to soil his dress, going to speak to him without
being summoned, staring in his face as he is eating his food.
222. Three lawful handbreadths: a handbreadth between shoes and hose, a
handbreadth between ear and hair, a handbreadth between the fringe of
the tunic and the knee.
223. What is worst in a household? Sons of a bawd, frequent feasts,
numerous alliances in marriages, abundance of mead and wine. They waste
you and do not profit.
224. Three illnesses that are better than health: the lying-in of a
woman with a male child, the fever of an abdominal disease that clears
the bowels, a feverish passion to check evil by its good (?).
225. Three welcomes of an ale-house: plenty and kindliness and art.
226. Three services the worst that a man can serve: serving a bad woman,
a bad lord, and a bad smith.[109]
[109] 'bad land,' N.
227. Three things that are best in a house: oxen,[110] men, axes.
[110] 'an ox,' N.
228. Three that are worst in a house: boys, women, lewdness.[111]
[111] 'Or, perhaps, as in Sec. 223, 'sons of a lewd woman,' only in that
case we have no triad.
229. Three signs of boorishness: strife, and contention, and mistaking a
person for another (?)[112]
[112] Or, perhaps, 'slight or superficial knowledge.'
230. Various kinds of mercenaries: ....[113]
231. Various kinds of dispensers: ....[113]
[113] As I could only offer unsatisfactory guess-work as a translation
of these passages, I omit them altogether.

232. Three that are most difficult to talk to: a king about his booty, a
viking in his hauberk, a boor who is under patronage.
233. Three whose spirits are highest: a young scholar after having read
his psalms, a youngster who has put on man's attire,[114] a maiden who
has been made a woman.
[114] Literally, 'who has doffed his (boy's) clothes.'
234. Four on whom there is neither restraint nor rule: the servant of a
priest, a miller's hound, a widow's son, and a stripper's calf.
235. Three hard things[115]: to go security on behalf of a king or
highly privileged person, for a king's honour is wider than any claim;
to go security for battle, for no one is capable of any security for a
battle save a king under whose yoke are seven tribes; to go security for
captivity, except one who owns a serf.
Seven prohibitions: to go security for an outlaw, for a jester and for a
madman, for a person without bonds, for an unfilial person, for an
imbecile, for one excommunicated. Troublesome moreover is every
security, for it is necessary for it to give sudden notice as regards
every pledge which he gives, now beforehand, now afterwards.
[115] I do not understand the force of _doib_, 'to them,' either here or
below after _secht n-aurgarta_.
236. Three wonders of Glenn Dallan[116] in Tirowen: the boar of Druim
Leithe. It was born there, and Finn was unable to do aught against it,
until it fell in Mag Li[117] by a peasant who was kiln-drying. Whence
Finn said:
[116] Now Glencar, six miles to the north of the town of Sligo.
[117] The territory of the Tir Li, west of the river Bann.
"Not well have we fed our hounds,
Not well have we driven our horses,
Since a little boor from a kiln
Has killed the boar of Druim Leithe."
The Beast of Lettir Dallan. It has a human head and otherwise the shape
of a smith's bellows. The water-horse which lived in the lake by the
side of the church cohabited with the daughter of the priest and begot
the beast upon her.
The Ox of Dil[118] is the third wonder. Its father came out of the same
lake, and went upon one of the cows of the landholder who lived near the
church, and begot the ox upon her.
[118] The oxen of Dil, daughter of Mil or Legmannair, are mentioned in
the Dindsenchas, No. 44 and 111 (Rev. Celt. xv.).
237. Tri hamra Connacht: lige nEothaili 'na thracht. Comard he frisin

249. Tri dorcha in betha: aithne, rathaiges, altrom.
237. Three wonders of Connaught: the grave of Eothaile[119] on its
strand. It is as high as the strand. When the sea rises, it is as high
as the tide.
The stone of the Dagda. Though it be thrown into the sea, though it be
put into a house under lock, ... out of the well at which it is.
The two herons in Scattery island. They let no other herons to them into
the island, and the she-heron goes on the ocean westwards to hatch and
returns thence with her young ones. And coracles have not discovered the
place of hatching.
[119] _Cf._ Sec. 197.
238. Three worst smiles: the smile of a wave, the smile of a lewd woman,
the grin of a dog ready to leap.[120]
[120] _Cf._ Sec. 91.
239. What are the three wealths of fortunate people? Not hard to tell. A
ready conveyance(?), ale without a habitation(?), a safeguard upon the
road.
240. Three sons whom chastity bears to wisdom: valour, generosity,
laughter (filial piety?).
241. Three entertainers of a gathering: a jester, a juggler, a lap-dog.
242. Three things that are best for a chief: justice, peace, an army.
243. Three things that are worst for a chief: sloth, treachery, evil
counsel.
244. The four deaths of judgment: to give it in falsehood, to give it
without forfeiture, to give it without precedent, to give it without
knowledge.
245. Three things that ruin wisdom: ignorance, inaccurate knowledge,
forgetfulness.
246. Three nurses of dignity: a fine figure, a good memory, piety.
247. Three nurses of high spirits: pride, wooing, drunkenness.
248. Four hatreds of a chief: a silly flighty man, a slavish useless
man, a lying dishonourable man, a talkative man who has no story to
tell.[121] For a chief does not grant speech save to four: a poet for
satire and praise, a chronicler of good memory for narration and
story-telling, a judge for giving judgments, an historian for ancient
lore.[122]
[121] _i.e._, who has nothing worth hearing to say.
[122] See a similar passage in Ancient Laws i., p. 18, and in the tale
called, 'The Conversion of Loegaire to the Faith' (Rev. Celt. iv., p.
165).
249. Three dark[123] things of the world: giving a thing into keeping,
guaranteeing, fostering.
[123] _i.e._, uncertain what will come of them.

250. Three prohibitions of food: to eat it without giving thanks, to eat
it before its proper time, to eat it after a guest.
251. Four elements[124] of wisdom: patience, docility, sobriety,
well-spokenness; for every patient person is wise, and every docile
person is a sage, every sober person is generous, every well-spoken
person is tractable.
252. Four elements[124] of folly: silliness, bias, wrangling,
foulmouthedness.
[124] Literally, 'alphabets.'
253. Three tabus of a chief: an ale-house without story-telling, a troop
without a herald, a great company without wolfhounds.[125]
[125] This triad has been wrongly read (fais_cre_ instead of fais_n_e_is_)
and rendered by O'Grady in his Catalogue of Ir. mss. in the British
Museum, p. 91.
254. Three indications of dignity in a person: a fine figure, a free
bearing, eloquence.
255. Three coffers whose depth is not known: the coffer of a chieftain,
of the Church,[126] of a privileged poet.
[126] "Die Kirche hat einen guten Magen," Goethe, Faust.
256. Three debts which must not be neglected:[127] debts of land,
payment of a field, instruction (?) of poetry.

36. Dun Sobairchi and Dun Cermna are, according to tradition, the oldest
stone forts in Ireland, having been built by Sobairche and Cermna, who
divided Ireland between them, about 1500 B.C., the former placing his
dun in the extreme north, the latter in the extreme south on the Old
Head of Kinsale.
37. Sliab Cua (or, by eclipse after the neuter _sliab_, Gua), 'the
hollow mountain,' or 'mountain of hollows' (_cua_ = Lat. _cavus_), the
native name for the Knockmealdown mountains on the borders of Tipperary
and Waterford.
42. Dercc Ferna was demolished by the Norse in 930. Hennessy, in a note
on the entry in the AU., says that it is supposed to be the cave of
Dunmore, not far from the city of Kilkenny, but adds "apparently on
insufficient evidence."
44. i. ionadha dona no nemhchonaig. Here we get the only gloss in L.
Bangor is said to be unlucky, "because of its having been destroyed so
often." It was frequently plundered by the Norse during the ninth
century. As to the kingship of Mugdorn Maigen (now Cremorne barony, Co.
Monaghan), it certainly was an ill-fated dynasty. Of the sixteen kings
of this tribe who are mentioned in the Annals of Ulster, ten were put to
death, of whom one (Suibne) was slain by his own brothers, while two
brothers, Gilla Ciarain and Maelmuaid, were slain within the same year
(1020), the latter after having been king for but one day.
45. Beyond the fact that the three tribes here mentioned belonged to the
_aithech-thuatha_ or rent-paying tribes, I know nothing to throw light
on the triad.
51. In Harl. 5280, p. 75a, marg. inf., Druimm nDrobeoil is said to
derive its name from a horse called Drobel. (Ech Dedad. i. Drobel a ainm
diata Druim nDrob_eoil_.)
56. Here H. has the absurd etymological gloss futhairbhe .i. fothirbhe

66. The first two items occur also in the list of proverbial sayings
addressed by the Wizard Doctor to Mac Conglinne (_Aisl. Maic C._, p.
73), with the significant variation that 'a veteran in the abbotship'
has become 'a veteran in the bishop's chair,' showing that the 'Vision
of Mac Conglinne' was composed at a time when the diocese had superseded
the old monastic constitution. As to the 'drop upon the altar,' though
O'Neachtain's gloss explains it as 'rain' (bainne .i. fer[th]uinn
anuas), the Rev. Mr. O'Sullivan has furnished me with a much more likely
explanation. He thinks it refers to the spilling of the consecrated wine
from the chalice, which is considered a most unfortunate accident. No
one but a priest is allowed to touch or remove it.
