boats to meet Patrick southwards as far as Domhnach-mor of
Magh-Aine--_i.e._, to Dun-Nocfene, then and now so called; and he
baptized them in Tir-glass, to the southeast of it. He afterwards went
to Finnine, to the northwest of Domhnach-mor, a hill from which he could
see the country to the north of Luimnech, when he gave a blessing to the
men of North Munster, who had gone with a profusion of gifts to meet
Patrick.

Cairthend, son of Blat, the senior of the Clann-Toirdhelb-haigh, believed
in the Lord, and Patrick baptized him at Sangul (_i.e._, a different
angel that went to converse with him that day, and not Victor). No
children were born to Cairthenn, except deformities, up to that time. It
was then that Eochu Ballderg was born to Cairthenn. Patrick that
procured this; and he formed a clot of gore, which was on his (Eochu's)
body, as a sign of that miracle. Patrick himself did not go into the
country, but he saw from him about Luimnech to the west and to the north;
and he blessed the district and its islands, and prophesied of the saints
who would appear in them, of their names, and the time in which they
would come. "The green island in the west," said Patrick, "in the mouth
of the sea; the lamp of the people of God shall come into it, who will be
the head of counsel to this district--_i.e._, Senan of Inis-Cathaigh--six
score years from this." (Senan, son of Gerrgenn, son of Dubhthach.) He
did not go across Luachair, indeed, into West Munster. He prophesied of
Brenainn, son of Ua-Altae, who was to be born 120 years after, which was
fulfilled.

Patrick then went into the southern Desi, and set about building a church
in Ard Patrick; and Lec-Patrick (Patrick's flag) is there, and the limits
of his church. Derball, son of Aedh, opposed him. Derball said to
Patrick: "If you would remove that mountain there, so that I could see
