Corand cruitire creachach, mac in Dagh[d]a dianbhreathach. ba guirt fri feis díanim sluind triana chruit go ceis Coraind.

Magh Coraind, whence is it? Not hard (to say). Corann, he was harper to the Dagda's son, Dianchécht, and out of his harp he summoned Caelcheis, one of the swine of Drebrenn. Northwards it ran with (all) the strength of its limbs. After it ran the champions of Connaught with (all) their strength of running, their hounds following them as far as Céis Coraind. Whence Céis Coraind and Magh Coraind. Whence (also) a poet sang:

Corand, a plundering harper. The swift-judging son of Diancecht,

Through his harp to Ceis Corann.
