26. When Ciaran left Aran a poor man met him on the way. Ciaran gives
him his linen cloak, and goes to Inis Cathaig to salute Senan. That he
was in one mantle only was revealed to Senan, and he went to meet him,
with a linen cloak under his armpit. And he said to Ciaran, "Is it not
shame," said he, "for a priest to travel without a cowl?" "Mercy on
us," said Ciaran, "God will have pity [on my nakedness];[32] there is
a cloak for me under the covering of mine elder."
