One time he was after going by Bernas-Ui-Oilella to go to Magh-Luirg,
when he fell into water--_i.e._, a river that goes into (_recte_, from)
Loch-Techet. Ath-carpait is the name of the ford, near to Ess-mic-Eirc.
Patrick cursed the eastern half of the water. "And the half from the
ford westwards, why do you spare it?" asked his people. "A son of life
will come who will set up there hereafter," said Patrick, "who will like
fruitful water at his place"--_i.e._, Colum-Cille, son of Fedhlimidh, at
Ess-mic-Eirc. From the ford up to the lake the best fishing in Erinn is
found there by all. From the ford down not much is taken there.

Patrick went afterwards into the territory of Magh-Luirg, when his horses
were carried off by Cenel-Mic-Erca. And Patrick cursed the people of
that country; but Bishop Maine of the Hy-Ailella, who prayed Patrick
regarding forgiveness for his kinsmen, and Patrick modified the
malediction. And Bishop Maine washed Patrick's feet with his hair and
tears, and drove the horses into a meadow, and cleaned their hoofs in
honor of Patrick. And Patrick said, "There shall be weeping, and
wailing, and mourning with the inhabitants of that country; and there
will not be neighborship there _in saecula saeculorum"; ut impletur_.
And Patrick also said that a great part of that country should afterwards
belong to him; which was fulfilled in the case of Nodain of Loch-Uama.
Bishop Maine is also of Patrick's people, and Geintene in Echainech in
Hy-Ailella.

Patrick went after that into the territory of Callraidhe to Druim-dara,
where Druim-lias is to-day. It was then he baptized Mac Caerthinn; and
that place was presented to Patrick for ever. Patrick afterwards
established himself on the offering in Druim-dara, Druim-lias
to-day--_i.e._, from Patrick's seats and from the sheds it was named.
Patrick left his _dalta_ Benen there in abbotship during the space of
twenty years. He journeyed into the glens eastward, where
Cenel-Muinremur is to-day. His two nostrils bled on the way. Patrick's
flag (Lee-Patrick) is there, and Patrick's hazel (Coll-Patrick), a little
distance to the west of the church. He put up there. Srath-Patrick it
is named this day; Domhnach-Patrick was its former name. Patrick
remained there one Sunday; _et hoec est una ecclesia illius regionis_.
Patrick went afterwards past Druim-cliabh, from Caisel-Irra, by the
Rosses eastwards, along Magh-Eni, and founded Domhnach-mor of Magh-Eni.
