Myles Dillondescribes the text:
the book of rights purports to record the rights of the Irish Kings,the King of Ireland,the provincial kings and the stipends due from the King of Ireland to the provincial kings... as in the book of Invasions the record is put into verse so the text consists, for the most part, of a collection of poems.[5]
