33. It happened that the gospel of Ciaran fell into the lake from the
hand of a heedless brother, and it was a long time in the lake. Upon
a day in the time of summer the kine went into the water, so that the
strap of the gospel attached itself to the hoof of one of the kine,
and she brought it dry [from below][33] to haven. Thence is "Port of
the Gospel" in Inis Aingin. When the gospel was opened it was in this
wise--white and clean, dry, without the loss of a letter, through the
grace of Ciaran.
