Thereafter they came till they were in the mountain over against Loch Dergderc. The sons of Míl and Banba conversed together there. [Or it is at Sliab Mis they conversed with Banba, and wherever it was, this is what she said to them]: ‘If it be to take Ireland ye have come, and so desire, not right were the chance in which ye have come.’ ‘It is, however,’ said Amairgen Glúngel the poet. ‘A boon to me from you!’ said she. ‘What is it?’ said they. ‘That my name be upon this island,’ said she. ‘What is thy name?’ said they. ‘Banba,’ said she. ‘Banba shall be a name for this island,’ said Amairgen Glúngel.

The Book of Druim Snechtai said that Amorgen asked of her her race. ‘Of the progeny of Adam am I,’ said she. ‘Of which race of the sons of Noah are thou?’ said he. ‘I am elder than Noah,’ said she; ‘I was on the peak of a mountain in the Flood. To this summit now,’said she, ‘came the waters of the Flood; thence it is called [Tul] Tuinde [“Summit of a Wave”]’. However, that foregoing tale is extraordinary.

Thereafter they sing spells against her, and Banba is driven from them. They had colloquy with Fótla in Eibliu. She spake with them in like wise, and begged that her name should be upon the island. Amairgen said that Fótla would be a name for the island.

They had colloquy with Ériu in Uisnech. She spake thus with them: ‘Warriors,’ she said, ‘welcome to you. Long have soothsayers known of your coming hither.
