(2012).Patrick goes to Cashel (Caisel na Ríg), then called Lis na Laechraide (‘Rampart of the Warriors’), where he is met by Éogan Lethderg mac Óenguso, king of Munster, and his army. The nobles of Munster show fealty towards the saint, accepting his authority over their territory.On behalf of Patrick, Benén mac Áeda asks Éogan for a gospel-fee (''screpall soiscéla'') consisting of land and territory. Éogan Lethderg grants Cashel to Patrick, with the surrounding lands stretching as far as Patrick's eyes can see from the Cloch na Cét (‘Stone of the Hundreds’). When Patrick steps on the stone, 11.000 demons flee from it, and he bestows on it a blessing as well as the special quality of providing good counsel: clerics can submit requests by fasting on it. A note is added that the rock is the place of the third perpetual fire of Ireland, after those of Brigit and Colum Cille.Éogan Lethderg welcomes Caílte and asks him why Cloch na Cét is thus called. According to Caílte, Finn sat on the stone when he first put his thumb on his ‘tooth of wisdom’ (''dét fis''). Finn received knowledge of God, Heaven and the advent of Patrick and other saints. The royal fortress with the surrounding rampart was built by Fiachu Muillethan mac Éogain, king of Munster (two provinces of Munster).Patrick then recites the prophetic poem beg.

The kings are often accompanied by a retinue of servants and animals representing the exotic realms from which they have traveled.
