X. HOW CIARAN WAS DELIVERED FROM ROBBERS

7. On another day certain robbers, coming from a foreign region, found

Saint Kiaranus alone, reading beside his herds; and they thought to

slay him and to reave his herds. But as they came toward him with that

intent, they were smitten with blindness, and could move neither hand

nor foot till they had wrought repentance, praying him for their

sight. Then the dutiful shepherd, seeing them turned from their

wickedness, prayed for them, and forthwith they were loosed and their

sight restored (_soluti sunt in lumine suo_). And they returned and

offered thanks, and told this to many.
