Caindech maccu Ddlan
Martyrological notice
Caindech maccu Ddlan, i.e. son of Aed Alaind was he, and Achad bo is his principal church. Cainnech once went to Finden to ask for a place in which he might dwell. "I see none there," says Finden, " for every one has taken before thee. " What is that empty place there?" asks Cainnech. "The demon of that road(?) is there," says Finden, "proving the ecclesiastics." " Let me go to him to expel him," says Caindech.2 " May it be easy for thee ! " says Finden. When the demon beheld him coming towards him, he said this : " O bald, little cloak ! " says he, " this is not thy path." " Leave the place in which thou art at once," says Caindech. Thereat the demon arose and left it, and thereafter Cainnech inhabits the place. " Before God, my dear brethren," says Caindech to the folk who were along with him, "there was no limb of knowledge (?) there ; neither my right hand nor my left came in contact with him," etc.3
