2. One day the best horse of Aengussius, son of the aforesaid King
Crimhthanus, died suddenly, and he was greatly distressed at the death
of his best horse. Now when in sorrow he had fallen asleep, in his
dreams a shining man appeared to him, saying to him, "Sorrow not
concerning thy horse, for among you there is a boykin [_puerulus_],
Saint Kiaranus son of Beoedus the wright, who by God's grace can
quicken thy horse. Let him pour water into the mouth of the horse,
with prayer, and upon its face, and forthwith it shall arise sound.
And do thou bestow a gift on the boy for the quickening of thy horse."
Now when Aengus son of the king was awakened out of sleep, he told
these words to his friends; and he himself came to Saint Kyaranus
and led him up to the place where the horse was lying dead. When the
dutiful boy Kyaranus poured water into the mouth and on the face of
the horse, it forthwith rose from death and stood whole before them
all. The son of the king bestowed that field, which was great and the
best, upon Saint Kiaranus in perpetuity.
