great multitude of foreign auxiliaries, and seven days after his

obtained a signal victory over king Artur at Moymucroimhe near Athenry,
eight miles from Galway. Forga king of Connaught, among others,

his sister Saba, the sons of Olill Olom king of Munster, and brothers to
this Lugad, viz. Eugenius, Dubmercon, Mogcorb, Lugad, Achy,
Dicorb, and Thady, besides whom there were, when their father Olill was
alive, two brothers by the same mother, Cormac Cas who was king of
Munster after his father's decease, and Kien the progenitor of the
Kienacts or Keniads, of the Elians, Lugnians, and Galengs, by his son
Thady... (Ogygia, O'Flaherty, 1793)
