LEBAR NA H-UIDRE BOOK OF THE DUN COW
A TRANSLATION

MARION DEANE
Book of the Dun Cow
One day the nobles of Ulster were around
Concobur in Emain Macha.
A birdflock used visit the plain in front of
Emain.
They used graze it until they left not even
roots nor grass nor herbs in the ground.
The Ulstermen were troubled to see them
destroying their land.
One day, they prepare nine chariots to
pursue them, for it was a custom with them to hunt birds.
Concobar was there in his chariot
and his sister Deictire,
and she was of marriagable age.
She was chariot-driver to her brother.
