enemies with Diarmuid (Dubh-chosach is one of the kings sent to hinder Diarmuid.) “Three kings we are of the Green Champions of Muir-na-locht,” said they; “and Finn, son of Cumhal, sent looking for us by cause of a thief of the woods, and an enemy of his own that has gone hiding from him; and it is to hinder him we are come.”

enemies with Diarmuid “And he and Diarmuid threw the arms out of their hands and rushed on one another like wrestlers, straining their arms and their sinews, knotting their hands on one another's backs, fighting like bulls in madness, or like two daring hawks on the edge of a cliff.”
