" Dathi is ancestor of the great Connaught families of O'Shaughnessy, O'Dowda, and O'Heyne. This king inherited the military ambition of his uncle Niall, and like him, made war in Gaul. He had previously undertaken an expedition into Alba, stimulated by the praises of his Druids. In the seventeenth year of his reign he found himself at Assaroe, near Bally shannon, whither he had gone from Tara to adjust some contentions between his kindred in the west.
