'^^ Semhne, or Shevny,'^9 is thought to have been an ancient name, for Island Magee,^3o lying to the north-east of Carrickfergus,^3i in the county of Antrim. However, with regard to the greater part of the establishments, attributed to St. Patrick's foundation, Dr. Lanigan thinks, there is no sufficient authority to prove, that they owe their origin to the great Irish Apostle ; while, it is supposed, the very names are calculated, to assign their erection to other persons. ^32 We are told, by Jocelyn, that when St. Patrick made a journey through that part of Ulster, known as Dalaradia, he passed by a place called Mucoomuir,'33 where his disciple Benignus saw choirs of angels, filling that place with celestial splendour. Also, he heard from the skies a harmonious concertoftheDivinepraises. Thisvisiondisappearing,atlength,herelated to Saint Patrick, all he had witnessed.

little is known, regarding his history. ^'^*
Some time after the aforesaid Saran had incurred that malediction,
already mentioned, he bore off many persons into captivity, from the district ofDal-Riada. Duringthoseravages. BishopOlcan'45methim,andthepoor
people grievously complained, about their sad condition. The compas- sionate Olcan, respected for his holiness of life, interceded ; but, this inter- vention was of no avail, unless he should assure Heaven to the tyrant Saran. The holy bishop alleged, that he had been a great persecutor of the Church, and notorious for his crimes, while he was still under the ban of St. Patrick's malediction. At first, Saran threatened death to the captives, as also to all monks and clerics. '^e However, the innocent bishop, believing too readily in the tyrant's feigned repentance and submission, or dreading the effects of his wrath, and accepting the promises he made to live like a Christian, received his professions, admitted him to baptism, and blessed him, saying, that he should obtain the rewards of eternal life. This whole transaction seems to have been incorrectly represented to the Irish Apostle ; and, in conse- quence, he had prejudged the case, having conceived a strong dislike, regard-
ingtheactionofhisfavouritedisciple. ItwasreportedtoPatrick,thatBishop Olcan had promised baptism and Heaven to him, who had been formerly denied
theirpossession. Wherefore,Saran'sguiltwasherelaiduponBishopOlcan,for having, even although unwittingly, sought to remove the malediction, and to
falsify the prophecy of the holy Apostle. Olcan came, afterwards, from the north, humbly to offer submission, for he learned that Patrick was greatly scandalized, on account of what he had done. They met to the north of Cluain-Fiachna,^'t7 on the way, while going in different directions. Imme- diately, Olcan threw himself on his knees, and humbly besought his master's pardon for that offence, and it was at last obtained, yet with much diffi- culty. ^'^ As a reproof for his infraction of ecclesiastical discipline, and weak compliance with Saran's wishes, the holy Apostle declared to Bishop Olcan, that his establishment on earth should not be high, and that it must be thrice destroyed. These predictions were afterwards fulfilled ; for, it was ruined by Scandal, ^^g King of Dal Araidhe, as also by Cucuaran,^5o ^^d it
suffered by fire. It happened, that Macnessius,^5i the disciple of Olcan, and
afterwards

Afterwards, St. Patrick is said to have returned to Dalriada, for the purpose of preaching the Gospel, and with him went Olcan, who obtained from Prince Fergus, the son of Ere, the place for founding his church, at Ar- moy. Another of Saran's brothers, Nadsluagh, was a captive^se on St. Patrick's

Be-
fore this messenger ot glad tidings left the territory of Dalaradia, he turned towards the former habitation of his harsh master Milchon ; for, he recol- lected the three dear and pious children, that had known him, in the years of boyhood. According to our accounts, on this occasion, Patrick brought with him Guasacht,'^3 whom he had consecrated bishop, and set over the church of Granard, in the territory of Tefifia. He also induced Guasacht's sisters, the two Emirs, or Emerias,^^4 to live a holy life, at Cluain-Bronaigh, now known as Clonbroney, to the west of Granard, in the county of Long- ford. It became a famous nunnery, and it was largely endowed with lands.
The way Patrick went, as we are told, in the Latin Tripartite Life, when
he left the territory of Dal-Araidhe,'^s was through Fersait Tuama,^^^ which is now known as Toome Bridge,'^? over the River Bann, in the county of Antrim.
He thus entered, upon a new division of territorial jurisdiction : Loch Echach, now Lough Neagh, was on one side o—f it, and Sliabh-Callann,
on the other. Ui-Tuirtre'^9 the old name for this territory was then on the west side of the Bann ]'7o but the tribe was after- wards removed, or had been expelled, '7' to the east or Antrim side. '^^ la this district, called Hy-Tuirtre,^73 to the west and north-west of Lough Neagh, St. Patrick remained for forty days,'74 in a place called Finnabhuir. '73 Here, he found a most eligible and pleasing site, for the foundation of a cathedral, having Siiabh Callann on one side, and Lough Neagh on the other. However, the Dynast of tliis place would not give his consent, and so Patrick was ordered away, being opposed by this chieftain, named Car- thenn,'7^ or Cairthen Mor, as he is sometimes called. He descended from Colla Uais,^77 Monarch of Ireland. '^s By the pagan Dynast Carthennus, Patrick was forced to quit this territory, and insult was added, which caused

this favourite of Heaven, to proclaim the retribution in store for him, St. Patrick predicted liis downfall, and that of his posterity, while another should possess his territory, although then banished from a just share of his family's
patrimony. Obeying the injunction of his Divine Master, and casting the dust from his feet, Patrick left the territory of his persecutor, and sought another field for his labours. We are told, likewise, that the chief had a younger brother, also called Carthenn, or Cairthend Beg, then exiled from that territory, and in another part of the country.

" ^^° The mother is called Mogan,^^^ or Mugania, and the child, afterwards born in this family, was the holy virgin, St. Trea. '^^ St. Patrick, as he had predicted, blessed a veil, which he placed on her. The angels, moreover, who brought tliis veil from Heaven, placed it on her head, and it fell down, over her dove-like eyes and modest cheeks.

Then Patrick began to raise it up. ""
Why is it not good to leave it as it had
been placed ? asked Trea. It is good, indeed," answered Patrick. After-
wards, she never saw anything during her life, except what she saw through
that veil.
To his great delight, the people of Hy-Tuirtre embraced the Christian
faith, for Carthenn Junior, his wife, and children, had set them a good example. By his constant preaching and labours, on this mission, St. Patrick was enabled to reap a most abundant harvest. Wherefore, in that
territory, he founded seven Domhnachs ;^^3 namely, Domnac-Fainre,^^* or Domhnach-Fainre,'^5 Domnach-Riescaigh,'^^ or Domhnach-Riascad,^^? Dom- nach-Fothairbe,'^^ or Domhnach-Fothirbe,'^9 Domnach-Righ-dhuinn,^9° or Domhnach-Righduinn, Domnach-Brain,'5i or Domhnach-Brain,^92 Domhach

St. Patrick thence travelled to a place, named Fera-Gaura/s^ where the people would neither receive him, nor hearken to his preaching. This district was, it seems, near Lough Neagh, to the south-east and south. ^99 Here, St. Patrick was inhospitably treated ; for the people drove him away. Then, filled with a prophetic spirit, he announced, that while they prevailed for the present time, by loading him with reproaches and injuries, because he wished to break the bread of life to them, he should be conqueror in the end ; for, the Apostle declared, that they should go i . erwards, with tribute to his church, in the winter time, and that extern tribes should finally get possession oftheircountry.
