To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I cannot wholly concur in any one of these theo- ries concerning Chief and Tribe. Each seems to me to contain a portion of truth, but not the whole. J^et mc first say that the whole land-system shadowed forth in the Brehon laws does seem to me to have for its ba^'is the primary ownership of the tribe-land by the Tribe. It is also true that the Chief appears to exer- cise certain administrative duties in respect of this land, and that he has a specific portion of the tribe- land allotted to him,... in the vicinity of his residence or stronghold, for the maintenance of his household and relatives. But this is not all. As we see the svstem through the law, it is not stationary, but shifting, de- veloping, disintegrating, re-combining. Even accord- ing to the texts apparently oldest, much of the tribal territory appears to have been permanently alienated to sub-tribes, families, or dependent chiefs ; and the glosses and commentaries show that, before they were written, this process had gone very far indeed.
