He is listed as king in the Book of Leinster king list and is also mentioned in a poem in the genealogies about the royal fort at Rathangan, County Kildare. His exact reign dates are uncertain. Though listed after Ailill mac Áedo Róin (died 639) in the king list; the poem mentions a king named Conaing between their reigns.
