		Zimmer's paper contains three other accounts of the terra repromissionis in the Irish sagas, one of them being the similar adventure of Cormac the nephew of Connla, or Condla Ruad as he should be called.
		Under these circumstances it is not unlikely that our legend grew up within the century after Conn--_i.e._, during the latter half of the second century.
		But nothing turns upon this interpolation, so that it is likely that even the present form of the legend is pre-Christian-_i.e._ for Ireland, pre-Patrician, before the fifth century.
