Rh [37. .]—Dubthair can[as] rohainmniged?

Ni ansa .1. id est Dubthir nGuairi maic in Daill insin, iarsindi dorigni fingail for a brathair oc Daiminis, for Dairine nDubchestach ,ac in Daill .1. a marbad ar tnuth tha[n]gnacht, co ro leith fidh mothar dara ferann, conad desin asberar Dubthair.

The Black Land (Dub-thír) of Guaire mac in Daill ("Son of the Blind") is that. Because Guaire committed parricide at Daiminis, on his brother, on Dairíne Dubchestach, son of the Blind, slaying him out of envy and treachery. So a wood and a dark thicket spread over Guaire's land. And thence Dubthair is so called.

Dub, daughter of Rodub, son of Glas Gamna, was near Endae, son of Noess, in Síd Forcarthan. He loved Aíde, daughter of Ochinne, son of Conucha. Dub knew that there was another woman along with him. Aíde went between the sea and the stream so that  over Cnucha.
