12. After this he (Fiacc) set up in Domnach Feicc, and abode there until three score men of his community had fallen there beside him.

13. Then the angel went unto him and said to him: "It is to the west of a river in Cul Maige that thy resurrection is (to be)" : the spot in 25 which they should find the boar, be it there that they put their refectory : the stead in which they should find the doe, be it there that they put their church. Fiacc said to the angel that he would not so go until Patrick should have come to mark out his place and to consecrate it, and that from him he might receive his place. After this Patrick went to 30 Fiacc and marked out his place for him, and consecrated it, and put his meeting-ground*^ there. And Crimthann offered that stead to Patrick, for it was Patrick who administered baptism to Crimthann, and in Slebte Crimthann has been buried.

14. Sechnall went afterwards to reproach Patrick about the chariot 35 which he had. Then Patrick sent the chariot to Sechnall without a charioteer therein save angels that guided it. When it had remained three nights with Sechnall he sent it on to ManchAn, and with him it remained three nights. He sent it on to Fiacc. Fiacc warned them off® afterwards. They circumambulated their church thrice, so the angel 4° said (to Fiacc) : " 'Tis to thee it hath been given by Patrick, since he knows thy infirmity."

15. Bishop Aed abode in Slebte. He went to Armagh. He brought a bequest to Segene of Armagh. Segene gave again a bequest to Aed and Aed offered a bequest and his kindred and his church to Patrick till 45 Doom. Aed left a bequest with Conchad. Conchad went to Armagh, and Fland Feblae^ gave his church to him, and he took himself (as) abbot.
