61. The Eoganacht of Cashel, the suzeram line, do not appear to have 

 taken any sept-name in Ui. The pedigree of Oengus (killed in 489, AU) is 

 given as follows : 1 Ailill Flann Becc, 2 Luguid, 3 Core, 4 Nat Froieh, 

 5 Oengus. According to the genealogical account, Ui-names among the 

 Eoganachta arise from ancestors two generations older than Oengus, and 

 continue to arise \mtiL an ancestor is reached two generations later than 

 Oengus. The eponyms would appear to date fi'om about the beginning of 

 the fifth until the middle of the sixth centuiy. Of course it is to be borne in 

 mind that a sept-name in Ui is at least two generations later than its 

 eponym, so that with the Eoganachta, septs continued to be named afi-esh 

 under this formula until the end of the sixth centuiy. 



62. In Dal Cuinn, the starting-point of aU the septs is Cairbre Lifechar. 

 From Fiachu Sraiftine son of Caii-bre descend the Ui Neill and the Connacht 

 septs Ui Briiiin, Ui Fiachrach, Ui Ailello, and Ui Fergusso. From Eochu 

 Doimldn son of Cairbre descend the Au-gialla and Ui Maine. 



63. In the genealogies, NiaU, Brian (Brion), Fiachra, Ailill, and Fergus 

 are sons of Eochu Mugmedoin. Their period is the close of the foui'th
