occasion, when Imar Conung was a young lad and he came to plunder Alba with three large troops, the men of Alba, lay and clergy alike, fasted and prayed to God and Colum Cille until morning, and beseeched the Lord, and gave profuse alms of food and clothing to the churches and to the poor, and received the Body of the Lord from the hands of their priests, and promised to do every good thing as their clergy would best urge them, and that their battle-standard in the van of every battle would be the
Crozier of Colum Cille—and it is on that account that it is called the Cathbuaid 'Battle-Triumph' from then onwards; and the name is fitting, for they have often won victory in battle with it, as they did at that time, relying on Colum Cille. They acted the same way on this occasion. Then this battle was fought hard and fiercely; the men of Alba won victory and triumph, and many of the Norwegians were killed after their defeat, and their king was killed there, namely Oittir son of Iarngna. For a long time after that neither the Danes nor the Norwegians attacked them, and they enjoyed peace and tranquillity. But let us turn to the story that we began.

Saxonland. The heathens formed themselves into four battalions: a battalion with
Gothfrith grandson of Ímar, a battalion with the two jarls, and a battalion with the young lords. There was also a battalion in ambush with Ragnall, which the men of Scotland did not see. The Scotsmen routed the three battalions which they saw, and made a very great slaughter of the heathens, including Oitir and Gragabai. Ragnall, however, then attacked in the rear of the Scotsmen, and made a slaughter of them, although none of their kings or earls was cut off. Nightfall caused the battle to be broken off.

Airther-Maighe. Patrick said to Fergus: "Though thy esteem with thy brothers is not great to-day, it is thou that shall be king. The kings of this land and of
Fortren shall be from thee for ever"; and this is what was fulfilled in Aedan Mac Gabhrain, who possessed Alba by force. Patrick left many cells and establishments in the territory of Dal-Riada."

Fortriu", which is nonsense as the the 'the mounth' is not in a plain. This identifies another problem with his translation. Monadh is used, as commonly found in placenames, can stand for a 'hill'. In this specific case, Sidlaw Hills by Glamis. Hence the first argument does no identify Morayshire with Fortrenn.

The first argument is based a miss translation of the line "dar múna i maigh fortrenn". He writes "across the mouth to the plain of
Fortriu". However, as those with knowledge of Irish know, that then preposition i followed by the dative form (i.e., maigh) it means 'in' and hence the translation would

The second argument says that Bredei son of Beli’s first appears in the chronicles attacking on Orkney. And so “such an expedition would make sense if Bredei’s heartland lay in the north, than the south of
Pictland.” However, Aedan mac Gabhrain’s first appearance in the annals is also an expedition

The third argument claims the OE. Wærteres “the first element of
Wertermorum, has been recognized as deriving from a Brittonic development of ancient Uerturiones.” Hence it must mean Fortriu! Yet this placename prefix is common to southern Pictland as well as England and Wales. Whereas ME. Wateres
