Et fundauit aeclessiam super siluam Fochluth, in qua sunt ossa sancta Mucnoi episcopi, quia Deus dixit illi ut legem relinqueret et episcopos ordinaret ibi et praespiteros et diaconos in illa regione [...]
'... (7) and he [Patrick] ordained holy Mucneus, brother of Cethiachus, and gave him the seven books of the Law, which he bequeathed to Mace Erce son of Mac Dregin. And he founded a church in the Wood of Fochloth, in which there are the holy bones of bishop Mucnoe, for God told him to abandon the study of the Scriptures and ordain bishops and priests and deacons in that region ...'
