|Description=Short narrative about two pious women, Rícenn, daughter of the king of Uí Maine, and her tutoress Caírech Dergáin, nun at Clúain Bairenn. When Tipraite, the king of Thomond, intends to marry Caírech, she asks Rícenn to go in her stead. While in this way Caírech is able to keep her vow of chastity, Rícenn agrees to marry the king in her place (when Rícenn shows herself to the king's men waiting outside, she is apparently believed to be the nun wanted by the king). She succeeds in eliciting from him a number of pious acts, including the construction of two churches, and becomes a devout widow after his death. The text ends on the note that on this account, the ''trícha[i]t in tredual''<ref>This term is translated as ‘threefold territory’ by {{Cite shorthand|Ní Dhonnchadha 2002b}}.</ref> is given to Ciarán [of Clonmacnoise], God and Caírech.
