Notes:

The translation follows the text of L as far as it goes, but also includes paragraphs 1-3 and 14, which in the original Irish are found only in H. In the HTML display, the material translated from the text of L is coloured black. Material translated from H is given in dark blue.

Occasional brief gaps occur in the printed edition owing to the obscurity of the original text. These gaps have been preserved in the TLH edition.
