Now no good welcome was given to him there, so he went thence to go round Ireland to the north, and a mighty storm came upon him, and he was driven to the 30 south-east extremity of Modad and he founded there a church called Fordun and his name there is Pledius.

And he gave great (welcome) to Patrick, and bestowed on him a quantity of relics and many books. Now when Patrick had been ordained, Celestine heard the lamentation of the children 40 calling to him. These are the children here mentioned, to wit, Crebriu and Lesru are their names, that is, two daughters of Glerand son of ..., son of Nene, and they are saints today. And Patrick baptized them, and they are" in Cell Foreland to the west of the Moy.
