6. As the dutiful boy Kyaranus was going out to a homestead hard by,
certain worldly men, cruel and malignant, let loose a most savage
hound at him, so that it should devour him. When Saint Kyaranus saw
the fierce hound coming towards him, he appropriated a verse of the
Psalmist, saying, "Lord, deliver not the soul that trusteth in Thee
unto beasts." Now as the hound was rushing vehemently, by divine
favour it thrust its head into the ring-fastening of a calf; and tied
by the ring-fastening, it struck its head against the timber to which
the fastening was hanging, and thus it broke its head. Its head being
broken and the brains scattered, the dog expired. When they saw this
they feared greatly.
