It is on a Sunday that Diarmait went to fight this battle, that is, through Cluain moccu Nóis and the congregation of Ciaran and prayed for him that he might come safe for the sake of their surety. When the king returned, he granted Doimnerc with its divisions today called Liath Mancháin, as a sod of the altar of Ciarán, and imposed three curses on the king of Mide if any of his people consumed as much as a drink of water there, so that it was for this reason that Diarmait asked to be buried in Cluain moccu Nóis.
