XVIII. THE ANGELS GRIND FOR CIARAN

13. Now there were the twelve bishops[19] of Ireland in the school of

Findian in Cluain Iraird, _ut dixit_,

Two Findians, holy Colums two,

Ciaran, Cainnech, Comgall fair;

Two Brenainns, Ruadan bright of hue,

Ninned, Mo-Bi, Mac Natfraeich there.

This was their rule, that every bishop[19] should grind at the quern

on his day. But angels used to grind at the quern for Ciaran's sake on

the day that was his.
