THE DESTRUCTION OF DIND RIG.

There are three copies of the following tale of treachery,
love, self-devotion, and vengeance, one (LL) in the Book of
Leinster, pp. 269, 270 of the lithographic facsimile, another (R)
in Rawlinson B. 502, ff. 71, 72, a ms. of the twelfth century in
the Bodleian library, and the third (YBL) in the Yellow Book
of Lecan, cols. 754-756 pp. 112, 113a of the photolithograph
published in 1896. The three copies substantially agree. But
LL is slightly fuller than the others, and is therefore made the
basis of the following edition. The variae lectiones of R and
YBL are given as footnotes.

The tale is now for the first time printed. But it has been
noticed, more or less fully, by Keating in his Forus Feasa air
Eirinn, Dublin 1811, p. 350, by Conall MaGeoghagan in the
Annals of Clonmacnoise, Dublin 1896, pp. 43, 44, by O'Curry, in
his Lectures 251, and his Manners etc. III, 242-245, by Prof.
Atkinson in the Contents to the Book of Leinster, p. 61, and by
Prof. d'Arbois de Jubainville, in his Essai d'un Catalogue de la
littérature épique d'Irlande, p. 184. A tale dealing, very differently,
with the same subject is preserved as a scholium on the Amra
Choluimb chille (YBL. col. 689, Egerton 1782, fo. 9b), and will
be published in the Revue Celtique, tome XX. Keating (ubi
supra, pp. 352, 353) abridges this version.

There seems no ground for doubting the actual occurrence
of the final incident of our tale, which is thus chronicled by
Tigernach (Rev. Celt. XVI, 378): 'Cobthach the Meagre of Bregia,
son of Ugaine the Great, was burnt, with thirty kings around
him, at Dind rig of Magh Ailbe, in the palace of Tuaimm
Tenbath precisely, by Labraid the Dumb, the Exile, son of
Ailill of Áne, son of Loeguire Lorc, in revenge for his father
