See also Amrae Chon Roí, which is included in the Yellow Book of Lecan copy of Version 3, and preserved independently in Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1337 (H 3. 18) [s. xv-xvi]. The dindsenchas of Finnglais tells much the same story, and a version of Aided Chon Roí is included in Geoffrey Keating's Foras feasa ar Éirinn (I 36). Cú Roí's death is also referred to in the poem beginning 'Innid scél scaílter n-airich'.
