[256.] In upland districts there were 13 trevs in the maenol, p. 375.

[257.] There were seven taeog-trevs in taeog-maenols, and each contained three randirs, in two of which there were three taeog-tyddyns to each, the third being pasture for the other two. There were therefore six taeog holdings in each taeog-trev. Ancient Laws, &c., pp. 375 and 829.
