@eDIL_Dictionary @ChronHib I don't suppose either of you have insight into the placename "Etarbaine", spelled variously as etarbane or nEtarb iniu. It's a place in Tipperary apparently assoc with the Kings of Cashel, but it's mentioned briefly in the version of TBC in YBL

although Expulsion also calls him Fedlimid Clar, rather than Fedlimid and Clar being separate individuals in the genealogical tract.

As H.2.7 has a mix of very early material with later material and is a 15th (?) c. MS, it's hard for me to assess if the genealogy or Expulsion came before the other and if there is an issue of transmission or something like that.

Okay, I see. Well, I guess the copying error may have gone in both directions, i.e. someone misunderstanding "Etarba iniu" as Etarbaine, or the other way round, turning Etarbainiu into "Etarbe today"...

Yeah, it is difficult to know. Especially since this particular genealogy is for a small Deisi dynasty that was possibly in Wexford. But the fact that etarba means boundary is interesting, because maybe the text is saying the burial is a boundary fert? Not too sure.
