was fulfilled. They (Dola's descendants) removed
to Airther-Cliach, and Dal-Modola is their name until this day.

Nena went to him (Patrick), who refused to receive him, and said that he
would not be prosperous. No successors of his occupied the place there
since, but they are enslaved by Muscraighe-Mittine. "Menraighe" they are
called.

As Patrick was leaving this place, the women of Grian came to bewail his
departure from them. Patrick blessed them, and said that the children
they would bear to extern tribes would be illustrious.

Patrick was in Aradha-Cliach, at Tedil (the name of a hill). When he was
bidding farewell, two of his people remained behind. They were sent for,
and found asleep under a bush there. This was told to Patrick. "Here
their resurrection will be," said he; which is true. Muin and Lomchu
[who are] in Cill-Tidil [were left there] by Patrick.

He went after this to Hy-Fidhgente, where Lonan, son of Mac Eire,
provided a banquet for him. Mullach-Cae, over against Carn-Feradhaigh on
the south; and a man of Patrick's people was preparing the banquet along
with the king--_i.e._, Deacon Mantan. A band of artists came up to
Patrick to solicit food, and would have no excuse. "Go to Lonan and to
Deacon Mantan, that they may relieve me," said Patrick. Who answered,
"No, until our banquet is blessed." Then Patrick said:

"The youth who comes from the north,
To him is vouchsafed the triumph;
To Cothraige he comes,
With his little wether on his back."

At that very time came another youth, attended by his mother, carrying on
her back a cooked wether to the king's supper. Patrick begged of him to
give him the wether to save his honor. The son at once gave it
cheerfully, though the mother was unwilling to do so, through fear of the
king. Patrick gave the food to the players; and immediately the earth
swallowed them. Derc, son of Scirire, of the southern Desi, was their
chief; and Patrick said there would not be a king, or heir apparent, or
bishop of his family of Lonan for ever; and he assured Mantan, the
deacon, that his church would not be exalted on earth, but should be the
abode of the dregs of the people, and that swine and sheep would trample
on his own remains; but to Nessan, who had saved his honor, he promised
that he should be honored among the nations. And he baptized him,
ordained him deacon, and founded for him a church--_i.e._, Mungarit. His
mother excused herse
