Title: Not a Translation!
Product review: This is a very, very loose reconstruction of the text, based on Koch's own theories about the Celtic proto-language that Old Welsh dveloped from. This 'proto-language' is itself little more than a theory and therefore the validity of the work is dubious. Most of the "evidence" presented here has been disproved by Graham R. Isaac ('Readings in the History and Transmission of the Gododdin'; 'Gweith Gwen Ystrat and the Northern Heroic Age of the Sixth Century'). Although a fair attempt at the impossible, this book is at best misleading.
