'The temporal land within this barony is all equally divided
 into 7½ _ballybetaghes_ [literally _victuallers'_ towns,[276]
 or units for purposes of the food-rents like the Welsh
 _trevs_], each containing 4 quarters, each of those quarters
 containing 4 tathes [corresponding with the Welsh _tyddyns_],
 and each of those tathes aforesaid to be 30 acres country
 measure.'

 Of '_spiritual_ lands' there are two parish churches, one
 having 4 quarters, the other 1 quarter.

 Also there are 'other small freedoms containing small parcels
 of land, some belonging to the spiritualty, and others being
 part of the _mensal_ lands allotted to Macgwire (the chief).'

This exactly corresponds with the arrangement for the purposes of
the gwestva of the Welsh _tyddyns_ in groups of 4 and 16, as in the
Venedotian Code. [p216]

There is also a _Survey of County Monaghan_ in 33 Elizabeth[277]
(1591), in which the names of the holders of the _tates_ in each
_bailebiatagh_, or group of 16, are given. Thus, again, to take a
single example,--

«Example in Co. Monaghan.»

 _Balleclonangre_, a ballibeatach containing xvi. _tates_.

 To Breine McCabe Fitz Alexander       5 tates.
 To  Edmond McCabe Fitz Alexander      1 tate.
 To Cormocke McCabe                    2 tates.
 To Breine Kiagh McCabe                2 tates.

A fresh survey of the same district was made by Sir John Davies in
1607;[278] the record for this same bailebiatagh is as follows:--

 Patrick M'Brian M'Cabe being found by a jury       1. Lissenarte.
   the legitimate son of Brian M'Cabe               2. Cremoyle.
