The difference of opinion as to the setting of incident XXXIII is to be noted. Also noteworthy is the absence of any reference to a second visit to Senan, though such is postulated in the lives of the latter saint. =D.= The fourth phase covers the time--according to all our texts a few months, according to other authorities some years--intervening between the foundation of Clonmacnois and the death of Ciaran. The traditions of LA and VG here run along the same lines; LB is curiously diverse. There are in all twelve incidents, namely-- LA LB VG XLII. _The foundation of the church_ 31 -- 35 XLIII. _How Ciaran sent a cloak to Senan_ 32 -- 27 XLIV. _Ciaran and the wine_ 34 18 36 XLV. _The story of Crithir_ 33 -- 37 XLVI. _How an insult to Ciaran was averted_ -- 19 -- XLVII. _How Ciaran was saved from shame_ -- 20 -- XLVIII. _How a man was saved from robbers_ -- 21 -- XLIX. _The death of Ciaran_ 35 22 38 L. _The visit of Coemgen_ 36 -- 39 LI. _The earth of Ciaran's tomb delivers Colum Cille from a whirlpool_ 37 23 -- LII. _The envy of the saints_ -- -- 40 LIII. _Panegyrics of Ciaran_ 38 24 41 * * * * * THE FIRST LATIN LIFE OF SAINT CIARAN _Here beginneth the Life of Saint Kiaranus,[1] Abbot and Confessor._ II. THE ORIGIN AND BIRTH OF CIARAN: THE WIZARD'S PROPHECIES 1. The holy abbot Kyaranus sprang from the people of the Latronenses, which are in the region of Midhe, that is, in the middle of Ireland. His father, who was a cart-wright, was called Beonnadus; now the same was a rich man; and he took him a wife by name Derercha, of whom he begat five sons and three daughters. Of these there were four priests and one deacon, who were born in this order, with these names--the first Lucennus, the second Donanus, the third that holy abbot Kyaranus, the fourth Odranus, the fifth Cronanus, who was the deacon. Also the three daughters were named Lugbeg, and Raichbe, and Pata. Lugbeg and Raichbe were two holy virgins; Pata, however, was at first married, but afterwards she was a holy widow. Now inasmuch as the wright Beonedus himself was grievously burdened by the imposts of Ainmireach King of Temoria, he, eluding the pressure of the impost, departed from his own region, that is from the coasts of Midhe, into the territories of the Conactha. There he dwelt in the plain of Aei, with the king Crimthanus; and there he begat Saint Kyaranus, whose Life this is.
