 The Loígis had already been identified with the number seven in a poem attributed to Mael Mura of Othain (fl.ninth century), which was perhaps the earliest texts that mentioned the tribe.Nevertheless, no text explicitly named the seven septs before 1607, when they were identified as the "Moores and their followers, the Kellies, Lalors, Clanmelaughlins, Clandebojes, Dorans, and Dolins".
