' Whence have you brought the cattle?' said Cuchulainn.
'From the mountain yonder,' said the man.'
' Where are their cow-herds? ' said Cuchulainn.
'He is as we found him,' said the man.
Cuchulainn made three leaps after them to seek speech with them as far as the ford. It is there he said to the leader:
'What is your name? ' said he.
' One who fears you not (?) and loves you not; Bude Mac Bain,' said he.
'This spear at Bude !' said Cuchulainn. He hurls at him the javelin, so that it went through his armpits, and one of the livers broke in two before the spear.
He kills him on his ford; hence is Ath Bude. The Bull is brought into the camp then. They considered then that it would not be difficult to deal with Cuchulainn, provided his javelin were got from him.
