A child born of secret adultery was abandoned close by the monastery of
Rahen and Mochuda fostered the child until he became a bishop, though no
one knew his name or his progenitors. Mochuda said:--"This child's name
is Dioma and his father is Cormac of the race of Eochaidh Eachach." All

for him to God and then addressing the dead he said,--"Arise." They
arose thereupon and he gave them safe to the king and they all gave
glory and thanks to God and Mochuda. The king moreover made large
offerings of land and servile tenants to Mochuda. But one of the
