of Crappoge, viz. two marks J of Morogh Mac Mahon, and it was 

 on this condition Dermot oge advanced those two marks, viz. to 

 have Crappoge free, free in every respect except giving their por- 

 tion to Galloglasses || alone, the power of redemption of Crappoge to 

 be enjoyed by Dermot Mac Conor for redeeming it from Dermot oge, 

 or by Dermot oge himself, if not redeemed by Dermot Mac Conor ; 

 and Mahon Mac Gilla Riabadli did not allow that power more than 

 one year, until he took it to himself : and when Morogh Mc Mahon 

 died, Dermot oge came to Teige Mac Mahon and informed him, 

 that the son of Ricard Mac Gilla Riaba did not keep that power for 

 him ; and Teige declared he would redeem the land from Dermot 

 oge for said two marks, unless Dermot oge would give five other 

 marks for it as he promised. And they covenanted with each other, 

 and this is the covenant, viz. the said five marks to be given by 

 Dermot oge unto Teige on Crappoge, and if the land be not re- 

 deemed from Dermot oge, every thing that Dermot shall pay for 

 the land to be as a pledge unto him for it, added unto the said seven 

 marks. — Conor Mac Cuuitin wrote this, by the consent of Dermot 

 oge and Dermot Mac Conor, in presence of Teige Mac Mahon.
