### Verba Scáthaige nach 23. N. 10.


Mein Wunsch,[1](javascript:footNote('G301032/note001.html')) daß dieser alte Text, den nur das Cín Dromma Snechta in ursprünglicher Form überlieferte, gedruckt werden möchte, ist schneller in Erfüllung gegangen, als ich hoffen durfte. Kuno Meyer hat ihn in Anecdota from Ir. MSS. 5 28 ff. nach drei der vier in Betracht kommenden Handschriften veröffentlicht. Da ich im Besitz einer Kopie der vierten (R.I.A., 23.N.10, S. 68) bin, gebe ich hier ihre Lesarten, obschon sie nicht weit von den anderen abweicht. Ist es doch der älteste Bericht über die Táin Bó Cúailnge, den wir besitzen; dieser Kriegszug scheint damals nur 14 Tage gedauert zu haben (V. 12), vgl. Rev. Celt. 15, 465.
