Ođiyma heđyw ymaith.[14]
The afanc am I, who, sought for, bides
In hiding on the edge of the lake;
Out of the waters of Syfađon Mere
Was he not drawn, once he got there.
So with me: nor wain nor oxen wont to toil
Me to-day will draw from here forth.
From this passage it would seem that the Syfađon story contemplated the afanc being taken away from the lake in a cart or waggon drawn by oxen; but whether driven by Hu, or by whom, one is not told. However, the story must have represented the undertaking as a failure, and the afanc as remaining in his lake: had it been otherwise it would be hard to see the point of the comparison.
