§ 3
The king (Díarmait) and the saint (Ciarán) attend the gathering at Uisnech, which lasts a fortnight.
Suddenly, a great drought seizes the land and many ‘four-footed’ creatures die because of it. The men of Ireland approach Ciarán for help, who makes a prayer and so produces a spell of rain that causes twelve main streams (prím-glaisi) to spring forth.
This miracle is cited as the reason why his church is entitled to a common tribute (cána choitchinn) throughout Ireland. In the presence of the men of Ireland, Díarmait submits to Ciarán, offering the services both of himself and of his children. Subjects
