The Misthrow At Belach Eoin.\nThen came to them Fiacha Fialdana ('the Generous and Intrepid') of the Ulstermen to speak with the son of his mother's sister, namely with Man\u00e8 Ando\u00e8 ('the Unslow') of the Connachtmen. And thus he came, and Dubthach Doel ('the Black Tongue') of Ulster with him. It was in this wise that Man\u00e8 Ando\u00e8 came, and Doch\u00e8 son of Maga along with him.\nWhen now Doch\u00e8 macMagach espied Fiacha Fialdana, he straightway hurled a spear at him, but so that it went through his own friend, through Dubthach Doel of Ulster. Then Fiacha Fialdana hurled a spear at Doch\u00e8 macMagach, so that it went through his own friend, through Man\u00e8 Ando\u00e8 of Connacht. Thereupon said the men of Erin: \"A mishap in throwing,\" they said, \"is what hath happened to the men, for each of them to kill his friend and nearest relation.\"\nHence this is entitled Imroll Belaig Eoin ('the Misthrow at Bird-pass'). And 'the Other Misthrow at Bird-pass' is another name for it.","title":"18a. The Misthrow At Belach Eoin.","type":"page"}
