A certain woman, suffering from bleeding, was brought to Fintán's ciuitas on a pallet. Then Finian, the guest master, went out to Fintán to ask him to bless water for the woman. Fintán said to him:
‘Do you want to make me an exorcist for the women of Leinster’?
Then Finian the [guest] master departed from him and secretly took with him [Fintán's] hood, which was on his bed, and placed it over the woman. And she was cured at once and returned to her home on her own feet in good health.
