    anam a mháthar i bPurgadóir. D'innis an sagart dó annsin gur b'é féin a athair agus go raibh a mháthair in a h-eascuin i n-abhainn agus go raibh a col-ceathrar i na h-eascuin freisin agus go raibh duine aca ar an taobh dheis don abhainn agus go raibh an duine eile ar an taobh chlé don abhainn agus go rabhadar ag troid san abhainn mar a bhíodar ag troid nuair a bhíodar beó.
