S. Camin was of the princely house of Hy-kinselogh by his father
Dima, a half-brother of Guair, king of Connaught, by his mother
Cumania. Little else is recorded of him, until he retired to the
island of Iniskeltra, in Lough Derg, where he led a very austere and
solitary life, but after some time was obliged to erect a monastery to
accommodate the numbers of disciples who resorted to him. Although of
a delicate constitution, he closely applied himself to ecclesiastical
studies, and wrote a commentary on the Psalms, collated with the Hebrew
text.
