    They occupied the counties of Limerick and Kerry and the Western parts of Clare and Galway.
    The book of Rights mentions Assail as a king's fort and the High King of Ireland had to send a cauldron to the King of Cashel Luacra who was expected to go there with 20 chariots and 30 vats of wine and remain for a week. According to the Annals Siran, son of Dian after a long reign over all Ireland won great battles over the Epnai and several other places in Co Limerick
    Mac Leag the principal Bard of Brian Boru, states that a branch of the Épna was expelled to Scotland but returned after a few centuries.
