Number[1] Title Contents Editions
Start of the first third
0. Pseudo-historical prologue Original title unknown. AL, I, pp. 3.1-31.25 (E, T)
1. Introduction Original title unknown. Gives an account of how legal knowledge was transmitted and outlines the matters deal with in the SM (with quotes from a few subsequent tracts).[2] AL, I, pp. 30-60 (E, T); Thurneysen 1927, pp. 174–187 (E, T).
2. Cethairṡlicht Athgabálae Title translates to "The four paths of distraint".[3] The text deals with the law of distraint, i.e., seizure of property to pay debt. The text itself outlines five paths; the title is an anachronism, caused by the late development of one of these paths.[4] AL, I, 64—305 (E, T); Arbois de Jubainville 1895, pp. ? (E, T); Thurneysen 1925, pp. 260–275 (E, T); Binchy 1952, pp. 45–48 (E, T); Binchy 1973, passim (E, T); Mac Eoin 1981, pp. ? (E, T).
2a. Di Choimét Dligthech Title translates to "On lawful impounding". Its subject matter is distraint. It is not clear whether (as the editors of the Ancient Laws prefer) it is its own tract or (as Thurneysen prefers) it is part of Cethairṡlicht Athgabálae.[5] AL, II, pp. 2-119 (E, T).
3. Di Gnímaib Gíall Title translates to "On the actions of hostages". The text deals with hostages gíall, but is fragmentarily preserved, and in Stacey's words "incomplete, imperfectly preserved, and almost impenetrably obscure".[6] AL, II, pp. 132-145 (E, T).
4. Cáin Íarraith Title translates to "The regulation of fosterage-fee". The text deals with the law of fosterage, namely, the rights of fosterchildren and fees due to fosterparent. It is fragmentarily preserved.[7][8] AL, II, 146-193 (E, T).
5. Cáin Ṡóerraith Title translates to "The law of noble fief".[9] The text deals with noble clientship. It is fragmentarily preserved.[10] AL, II, 194-220 (E, T); Thurneysen 1925, pp. 238–259 (E, T); Thurneysen 1927, pp. 211–213 (C).
6. Cáin Aicillne Title translates to "The law of base clientship".[9] The text deals with base clientship.[10] AL, II, pp. 222-340; Thurneysen 1923 (E, T); Thurneysen 1925, pp. 238, 259–60 (C); Thurneysen 1925b, pp. 370–376 (C); Thurneysen 1927, pp. 205–10 (C).
7. Cáin Lánamna Title translates to "The regulation of couples". This text deals with marriage and divorce.[11] AL, II, 342-408 (E, T); Thurneysen 1936 (E, T).
8. Córus Bésgnai Title translates to "The regulation of discipline".[9] This text is concerned broadly with preserving order. It has sections on contracts, the nature of Irish law, care of the elderly, the relationship between lay people and the church, etc.[11] AL, III, 2-79 (E, T); Bruck 1956, p. 172-173 (T); MacNeill 1981, pp. 173–174 (T); O Corráin et al 1984, pp. 384–386, 406–412 (T); McLeod 1992, p. 329 (T); Etchingham 1999, passim (T); Charles-Edwards 2002, pp. 273–277 (T).
