Dlegait Síl Muiredaig móir a uaisle ocus a onóir; do-ní in fer 's a síd so báig im a rígai rompa. In chulabair fecht eile turas Áine ingine dá n-dechaid fecht ar fogail le Cathal Ua Conchobair? Do-luid Cathal cét curad d' fhogail ar maithib Muman; ac urnaide a aesa braith do fhuirig féin in fírfhlaith. Ro chotail Cathal crechach fosaid cróda certbrethach co facaid fís, ba fáth neirt ós Loch duiblinntech Deirgdeirc. Is ed at-chonnairc in chraeb mac Conchobair, Cathal caem, ingen fhinn ar a aigid gruaidgel détbán di-ainim. Brat uaine glan im in n-géic, nír décad leis a leithéit, seinginar lúpach lepthach bláith forórda finnchlechtach. Do-rinne caí thoirsech thrén, do fháisc a basa 's a bél co táinic fras fanna fala tar a roscaib rinnglana. A-dubairt Cathal cuanach: Cia thusa, a ingen uallach, crét rot-chuir mar nach coimse fó maíth is fó mórthuirse? Lennán duit-se, a Chathail chaím, mise ó méit cach macaím; is ret leith a-atá mo theg, is é m' ainm Aíbenn Uchtgel. 'Tusa marbthar a-márach le sluag Muman mórdálach; is tú chaínim tar conair a Chathail meic Conchobair. Cia lé maiter in gním garb do chath Luimnig na laecharm, caide anmann fós na fer beires orainn, a ingen? Berid Longargán, dar lim, ort ocus Coscrach cúilfhinn; beirid Ceinnéitig na cath ort is Congalach cétach'. Beirid ort Mathgamain mer mac Ceinnéitig na caíned; berait trí chét fer fuirmech ort do maithib mór Muimnech. Crét im scar na ríg rim-sa, innis, a ingen fhinn-sa, cá lín ternós as in ág do maicne lonngairg Lorcán? Ní tusa nach digned maith, a ua Echach, a ardfhlaith; loiscfid ort, a ua na Tadg, imarcraid na ríg ro-garg. Táncatar tar Echtge fuair triar ar cét Connachtach cruaid; terc ar doman a-dertais trí chét fer nach foirrechtais. Ráidim-se rit, is fír so, na cúic ríg ráide rompa nach nesa olc dam ná dáib, a Aíbenn gruaidderg gnúsnáir.

Do-riacht 's in n-duma n-glas in ingen chaem co Cathal cor iarfaig in taebgel sheng crét siút inniseas Aíbenn?' Do iarfaig Cathal coscrach: Cia thusa, a mín mallrosach? Innis uait dúinn-ne can doilb do chomshloinned, do chomainm. Eóchaill a Síd Chruachna chuirr m'athair, a rí cinid Chuinn, Áine m' ainm féin ac fledaib do Shíl mórgarg Muiredaig.
