# IX From Gilla Modutu's poem Senchas Ban, written A.D. 1141, Book of Leinster, p. 140 a, 29.

<dir id="bkmrk-%27ingen-do-chamm%C3%A1in-d">'Ingen do Ch*a*mmáin Dub-Lacha,  
 lennán Mongáin, maith a ciand,  
\[20\] Colgo, Conall, ba lucht láthair,  
 Cáintig*er*n a máthair mall:  
ingen maic Demmáin Dub-Lacha  
 na n-gellám cen tacha thall.' Cammán's daughter was Dub-Lacha,  
\[25\] The beloved of Mongán, their offspring was good,  
Colgo, Conall, that were folk of strength,  
 Cáintigern was his gentle mother.  
Daughter of Demmán's son was Dub-Lacha  
 Of the white arms, without fault, of yore.'

</dir>\[30\] Cammán Dub, the daughter of Furudrán mac Bécce, of the royal race of the Ui Turtri, was the wife of Fiachna Dub mac Demmáin (LL: 140 *a*, 27).

Unless *máthair mall* may mean 'grandmother,' we must translate as I have done, and refer the *a* 'his' to Mongán.

\[35\] As to Dub-Lacha being called 'of the white arms,' cf. her by-name Láimhghel, p. 61, 10 above.
