The date 1400 seems arbitrary, 1507 is probably an error for 1567. The volume consists of fragments written by various hands, mainly perhaps in the 16th century. One fragment is dated 1567 (p. 26). The Life of Saint Eustathius was written at Slemuin Mór (Slane) in Meath (p. 19). Names of scribes unknown except for two scribes mentioned in the Genealogy Tract at p.1 i.e. Adám O Cianain and Gilla Beraig. Written in double columns as far as p. 38. Rubricated capitals.

Tá blúire ann le dáta 1567 (lth. 26). Scríobadh an 'The Life of Saint Eustathiu's i Slemuin Mór (Slane) i Co. na Mí (lth. 19). Níl aithhne ar ainmneacha na scríobhaite ach amháin i gcás an bheirt luaite sa tráchtas ginelaigh ar lth.1: Adám O Cianain agus Gilla Beraig.

It also contains a genealogical poem of about 300 verses on the families of the Breifnies, i.e., the O'Rourkes, O'Reillys, McGaurans, etc, addressed to or written for Cathal O'Reilly, lord of Cavan, who died in the year 1161. There are two scribes named: Adám O Cianain and (in the penultimate stanza) Gilla Beraig. A Life of Eustasius Beatha Eustatius begins on p.16 and ends at p. 24 b,1.5 (See C. Plummer, Misc. Hagiogr., p. 258). Written on vellum at various dates from 1400 to 1507 it finishes on p.57 with an anonymous poem of 152 lines in praise of Edmond, son of James Butler, written (in the opinion of O'Curry, Acad. Cat., p. 32) perhaps about 1580, begining Cuith do leandan, a lamh oir.Is lámhscríbhinn Leighis é RIA MS 23 O 4 a scríobadh i nGaeilge le píosa beag Laidine sa 16ú haois b'fhéidir. Tá dán ginealaigh de 300 rann beagnach ar mhuintir Breffni, mar shampla clann Uí Ruairc, Uí Raghallaigh macGabhráin, srl. iniata freisin. Scríobhadh é ar son Cathal O'Reilly, tiarna an Chabáin a fuair bháis sa bhliain 1161. Tá beirt scríobhaí ainmnithe Adám O Cianain agus (sa rann leathdhéanach) Gilla Beraig. Tosaíonn Beatha Eustatius 'A life of Eustastius' ar lth. 16 agus críochnaíonn sé ar lth. 24b, 1. 5. (Féach ar C. Plummer, Misc. Hagiogr., lth. 258).
