A gillu gairm n-ilgrada

From Van Hamel wiki

Initial words	‘A gillu gairm n-ilgrada’
Ascribed to	Flann Mainistrech
Manuscripts	Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1339 (H 2. 18) = Book of Leinster [s. xii2], pp. 27b—28a
Description	On the names belonging to certain ‘people of a burdensome company’ (muinter na tromdáma)
Textual relationships	The muinter is not to be confused[1] with the retinue of the poet Senchán Torpéist as known from the tale Tromdámh Guaire. The companions are rather Otherworldly characters, who are once described as a wicked or accursed people (munter mallacta). Thurneysen suggests that it may be related to an episode (interpolated) in Tochmarc Étaíne (section III). This episode, called ‘Tesbaid Etaine’ in Lebor na hUidre, bears the title ‘Tromdam Echach Aireman’ in Egerton 1782, a title which also occurs in tale list B.[2]
