Aedh Ua Raithnen, Irish poet, fl. c. 954.
Example
A verse of Aedh's is inserted in the Annals of the Four Masters, sub anno 954:
- After despoiling of pleasant Ath-cliath/Which sent the foreigners out of Ireland/Was two years over ten/Of the reign of fair Conghalach.
- Four, fifty, in truth/And nine hundred,—no slight fact/From the birth of Christ at fair/ Bethil Till the death of the noble son of Maelmithigh.
gollark: Markets seem to work better than the alternatives, at least. Perhaps I'm just saying this because I live in a reasonably wealthy country and whatever, but you know.
gollark: Although yes, you probably can't have everyone run large customer facing businesses.
gollark: Approximately, sure. But with higher skilled jobs. And you could still have offices and whatnot if your contract included coming in to physically work with people.
gollark: > cuz if everyone would run a business things wouldnt go well(responding to this)
gollark: Not under the current model of work, but you could replace "go to work and are paid to do whatever is directed by someone" with "hired on contract to perform some specific task".
