Three ranks that ruin tribes in their falsehood: the falsehood of a king, of a historian, of a judge. 167. Three free ones that make slaves of themselves: a lord who sells his land, a queen who goes to a boor, a poet's son who abandons his (father's) craft. 168. Three brutes whose trespasses count as human crimes: a chained hound, a ferocious ram, a biting horse. 169. Three brutish things that atone for crimes: a leashed hound, a spike in a wood, a lath....[98] [98] _comneibi_ is a [Greek: hapax legomenon] to me. 170.

Three doors of falsehood: an angry pleading, a shifting foundation of knowledge, giving information without memory. 174. Three doors through which truth is recognised: a patient answer, a firm pleading, appealing to witnesses. 175. Three glories of a gathering: a judge without perturbation, a decision without reviling, terms (agreed upon) without fraud. 176. Three waves without wisdom: hard pleading, judgment without knowledge, a talkative gathering. 177. Three glories of speech: steadiness, wisdom, brevity. 178. Three ornaments of wisdom: abundance of knowledge, a number of precedents, to employ a good counsel. 179. Tri miscena indsci: rigne, dluithe, dulbaire. [Note 179: miscne indsce N raighni L] 180. Tri fostai dagbanais: fosta thengad [et] gensa [et] airnb_ern_tais. [Note 180: fosta N fostadh tengad N airb_er_tais N] 181. Tri foindil drochbanais: foindil scel [et] ataid [et] airberntais.
