But in time, a man appeared, tall and dressed in finery and carrying a branch with nuts, apples and sloes growing on it. And he came to the court at Tara and they asked him who he was and why he had come to them.
He told them he was Trefuilngidh Tre-eochair and he had come from the Land of the Rising Sun to the Land of the Setting Sun to find out where the sun had gone to. Because on that very day, in Jerusalem, a Man was crucified and the sun went from that place and did not return.
The king decided that this was a wise man who could travel in one day from the place where the sun rises to the place where it set, and he and the nobles of Ireland agree to abide by his decision on the partitioning of the land.
Trefuilngidh Tre-eochair calls for an assembly at Tara to render his decision and in forty days all the nobles of the land are gathered at Tara. Then he gave his decision:
