  • Colman, Ceallach of the hard conflicts,
  • They perished with many thousands
  • in the great battle of Bealach-Mughna.
  • Flann of Teamhair, of the plain of Tailltin,
  • Cearbhall of Carman without fail,
  • On the seventh of the Calends of September,
  • gained the battle of which hundreds were joyful.
  • The bishop, the souls' director,
  • the renowned, illustrious doctor,
  • King of Caiseal, King of Iarmumha;
  • O God! alas for Cormac!
