HAVING served his prince in the army, he renounced the world, and
devoted himself to God in a monastic state, with so much fervor as to
become a model of perfection to others. He is said to have founded
thirty churches, and one hundred and twenty cells, and passed thirty
years at one of these churches, which is called from him Teach Mochua,
but died at Dayrinis on the 1st of January, in the ninety-ninth year of
his age, about the sixth century. See his life in Bollandus, p. 45.
