The poem is known solely from a copy of Priscian's Institutiones Grammaticae, a medieval Latin grammar full of glosses in Old Irish. Some monk scribbled this poem along the top of folio 112, most likely in the ninth century, when Viking attacks on Irish monasteries, schools and churches were a regular occurrence.

Debide is the name of this Old Irish verse form with seven-syllable lines, alliteration, and the half-rhymes that are so typical of Irish poetry – even today when written in English.
