"The over-kingdom of Airgíalla was itself composed of nine sub-kingdoms, named after their ruling dynastys. They were the Ui Thuirtri; Ui Meic Cairthinn; Ui Fhiachrach Arda Sratha; Ui Moccu Uais; Ui Chremthainn; Ui Meith; Ind Airthir; Mugdorna;
"Airthir (Airtheara)—was centered in County Armagh, about the eastern baronies of Orior. In earlier times the term Airthir (literally meaning 'east') may have included most of co. Armagh. The early genealogies cite Fiachra Cassán, son Colla Fochríth, as progenitor of some of the early people of the territory of Airthir in Ard Macha (Armagh). The Airthir had split into the main septs by the 8th century, the Uí Nialláin, the Uí Bressail, and the Uí Echdach. About the 10th century, some of the major groups in the modern co. Armagh region included the Uí Méith, the Uí Nialláin, and the Uí Bresail. In the 12th century, the Irish Annals note Ua Ruadhacain (O'Rogan) as chiefs of Airthir, an area which may have been more restricted in size. The Ua Ruadacháin were noted as chiefs of Uí Eachach (Echdach), tributary to the O'Hanlons at the time, in Smith's The English in Louth 1170-1330."
