There was a man doing penance with Fintán named Béccán son of Blathán. That man lived with the other penitents, fifty in number, who used to eat bread and drink water mixed with a measure of milk. Fintán, however, took pity on the weak Béccán and blessed his cup; and from that day for seven years there used to be fresh milk in his cup even though clear water used to be poured from the same vat for him and the other penitents.
