A lady writes as follows: "At Island Magee is the Knowehead Lonan, a long, hilly, narrow road, bordered on either side by high thorn-hedges and fields.

"Go to Lonan and to Deacon Mantan, that they may relieve me," said Patrick. Who answered, "No, until our banquet is blessed." Then Patrick said: "The youth who comes from the north, To him is vouchsafed the triumph; To Cothraige he comes, With his little wether on his back." At that very time came another youth, attended by his mother, carrying on her back a cooked wether to the king's supper.

Mullach-Cae, over against Carn-Feradhaigh on the south; and a man of Patrick's people was preparing the banquet along with the king i.e., Deacon Mantan. A band of artists came up to Patrick to solicit food, and would have no excuse.
