r you alone. And the extent of the
termon of your see from God is to Droma-Bregh, and to Sliabh-Mis, and to
Bri-Airghi." Patrick replied: "My _debroth_, truly," said Patrick, "sons
of life will come after me, and I wish they may have honor from God in
the country after me." The angel responded: "That is manifest. And God
gave all Eriu to you," said the angel, "and every noble that will be in
Eriu shall belong to you." "_Deo gratias_," said Patrick.

Patrick was enraged against his sister--_i.e._, Lupait--for committing
the sin of adultery, so that she was pregnant in consequence. When
Patrick came into the church from the eastern side, Lupait went to meet
him, until she prostrated herself before the chariot, in the place where
the cross is in Both-Archall. "The chariot over her," said Patrick. The
chariot passed over her thrice, for she used still to come in front of
it; so that where she went to heaven was at the Ferta; and she was buried
by Patrick, and her _ecnaire_ (requiem) was sung. Colman, grandson of
Ailill, of the Ui-Bresail, that fixed his attention on Lupait at Imduail.
Aedan, son of Colman, saint of Inis-Lothair, was the son of Lupait and
Colman. Lupait implored of Patrick that he would not take away heaven
from Colman with his progeny. Patrick did not take it away; but he said
they would be sickly. Of the children of this Colman, moreover, are the
Ui-Faelain and Ui-Dubhdara.

One time Patrick's people were cutting corn in Trian-Conchobhair. They
were seized with great thirst, whereupon a vessel of whey was taken to
them from Patrick, who persuaded them to observe abstinence from tierce
to vesper time. It happened that one of them died; and he was the first
man that was buried by Patrick--_i.e._, Colman Itadach, at the cross by
the door of Patrick's house. What Patrick said when it was told to him
was: "My _debroth_, there will be abundance of food and ale and
prosperity in this city after us."

Once the angels went, and took from off the road the stone which was
before the chariot, and its name is Lec-na-naingel. It was from that
place--_i.e._, from Druim-Chaile--that Patrick with his two hands blessed
the _macha_. The way in which Patrick measured the rath--_i.e._, the
angel before him, and Patrick behind, with his people, and with the holy
men of Eriu, and the Bachall Isa in Patrick's hand. And he said that
