over. So in the Tripartite Life, (Rawl. B. 512, fo. 26. a. 1) two
virgins offer their virginity to the Lord. The heathen Echaid
bound them on the seastrand under the waves, to drown them, for
they refused to worship idols and to marry (Ros-cuimrig Echaid
isin tracht fo na tonnaib diam-bádud, uair rorithbruithset
adrad idal ocus lanamnas).

vol. I. p. 79: The tree Glass stands with golden leaves
before Sigtyr’s hall. So in the Serglige Conculainn (Irische Texte,
p. 319, line 23) „a tree of silver against which the sun shines,
whose great splendor resembles gold“, stands at the door of
Labraid’s palace,

vol. I. pp. 109, 110, 119, 186, Vol. II. pp. 16, 17, and
see Snorri 108, 109 cited, Grimm, D. M.² 500. When Thorr
fought Hrungnir, Thorr’s hammer (the thunderstone) and
Hrungnir’s weapon Hein (hone) met in mid-air. Hein broke, and the
fragments, together with those of Hrungnir’s stone-brainpan, fell
on the field called Stonegarth.

So in the Cattlespoil of Cualnge, Lebor na huidre, p. 71 b,
the combat of Munremar (Thickneck) and Cúroi is thus
described.

`When the hosts were biding there at the hour of noon they
saw somewhat. The (battle-)stone is shot over them from the
east, and its fellow from the west against it. The stones meet
in the air. They used to fall between Fergus’ camp and Ailill’s
camp and Era’s camp. The (heroes) were at that feat and
exploit from the one hour to the other; and the hosts were
upstanding, with their shields on their heads to save them from the
heaps (?) of the stones, so that the field became full of the flags.
Hence is the name Mag Clochair `field of Stones’ („Stonegarth“).
Now it came to pass, that it was Cúroi, son of Daire, who
wrought that.’[1]
