Their names are Mureth and Fiac and Lugaid. Each of them used to eat the dinner of a hundred. Now Lugaid had been entrusted to the church to feed, and the two others to the laity. So Lugaid asked Brigit to diminish his appetite without taking away his strength. Brigit did that for him, and she blessed his '25 mouth so that his appetite was not greater than that of any other man. Then he went and raised a stone, which a hundred of them had been unable to do the day before, out of the ditch on to the top of Alenn there' F™^ 5. .i. ro digaib F .i. rodigaib a thuara 7 nirbo lugaide a nert Lugdach 'she diminished his food, and Lugaid's strength was not the 3° less,' T 6. .i.
