Excerpt from The Tribes and Customs of Hy-Many, Commonly Called O'kelly's Country: Now First Published Form the Book of Lecan, a Ms. In the Library of the Royal Irish Academy; With a Translation and Notes by John O'donovan

And the length and breadth of the plain was from Dun na riogh to the river of Bairrchinn, and from Ath n-fasdoig to Ath dearg-duin, which is now called Ath an Chorrdhoire and Gian delayed not on this occasion until he had reached the plain of tir-maine, and the noblest tribes among the race of Colla came to meet them there and it was shown to St. Grellan how the race of Colla Da Chrioch were in this peril; and the saint came speedily to protect them, and he repressed both par ties, and checked their animosity, and ra tified a peace between them, and ordered that three times nine persons out of their nobility should be given into the hands of Cian, as pledges to observe this peace. Amb algaidh, the son of Maine, was the noblest of these hostages, and he was delivered into the hands of Gian's lawgiver. And the wife of the lawgiver fell in love with him, which when the lawgiver had observed.

Excerpt from The Tribes and Customs of Hy-Many, Commonly Called O'kelly's Country: Now First Published Form the Book of Lecan, a Ms. In the Library of the Royal Irish Academy; With a Translation and Notes by John O'donovan

The following account of the families and customs of Hy-Many is printed from the Book of Lecan, fol. 90 to 92, exactly as it stands in the original, excepting only that the contractions are not retained, and such grammatical marks are introduced as were deemed necessary to render the language intelligible to an Irish scholar not familiar with Ms. abbreviations. The Book of Lecan was compiled from various other Mss. for Gilla losa More Mac Firbis, chief historian of the O'Dowds of Tireragh, in the county of Sligo, about the year 1418 ;but the work has been already so well described by O'Reilly, in his Irish Writers (vol. i. of the Transactions of the Iberno-Celtic Society), that it is not necessary to give any detailed description of it in this place.

Whether the tract on the customs of Hy-Many was originally composed at the period of the compilation of the Book of Lecan, or transcribed from an older Ms., we are not at present able to decide satisfactorily, as no other copy of it has been discovered, but it is highly probable that it was transcribed, and perhaps abridged, from some Ms. belonging to the territory of Hy-Many.
