| Teora sírechta flatha: cuirmthech cen aisnéis, buiden cen erdonail, dírim cen chona. | Three tabus of a chief: an ale-house without story-telling, a troop without a herald, a great company without wolf-hounds1. |
1 This triad has been wrongly read (faiscre instead of faisnéis) and rendered by O’Grady in his Catalogue of Ir. MSS. in the British Museum, p. 91.
