Ailill Caisfiaclach ("having crooked/hateful teeth"), ["Dictionary of the Irish Language" Compact Edition, Royal Irish Academy, 1990, pp. 98, 102, 303] son of Connla Cáem, was, according to medieval Irish legends and historical traditions, a High King of Ireland. He succeeded his father, and reigned for twenty-five years, until he was killed by Adamair. The "Lebor Gabála Érenn" synchronises his reign with that of Ptolemy V Epiphanes in Egypt (204-181 BC). [R. A. Stewart Macalister (ed. & trans.), "Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of the Taking of Ireland Part V", Irish Texts Society, 1956, p. 283] Geoffrey Keating's "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates his reign from 315 to 290 BC, [Geoffrey Keating, "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100054/text040.html 1.30] ] the "Annals of the Four Masters" from 443 to 418 BC.
