After this Fintán departed for the south of Leinster, to the sea, according to the word of Colum Cille, and he was there, by the sea, in a locus called Ard Crema, among the Uí Bairrche. In the same place was the familia of Saint Comgall, abbot of Bangor, and a foster son of Comgall, whose name was Áed Gophan, was airchinnech of that locus. When he went into exile, he left Fintán in his place until he returned from exile. Fintán was in that locus twelve years, and God gave him an abundance of fruit of both sea and land, and great prosperity, which that locus never had before or since.
