shalt have thy demand“, said Conchobar. „It is not great, indeed“, said Ferloga; „it is only that thou shalt take me along with you to Emain Macha [the palace of Emania], and that the young women and girls of Ulster shall sing a Cepóc around me every evening, and each of them say: Ferloga is my favourite.“—To these rather fanciful conditions King Conchobar was obliged to submit. The charioteer was brought to Emania; and in twelve months’ time (the story tells us) he was conveyed over the river Shannon at Athlone, with a present to the king and queen of Connacht of King Conchobar’s two favourite steeds with their golden bridles; but we are told nothing more of his relations with the maidens of Ulster.
Cap. 22. In Bezug auf das Schwein des Mac Dáthó finden sich in dem topographischen Werke Dinnseanchus folgende Angaben (nach O’Curry, The Battle of Magh Lena, p. 14–16, note):
