allied to tlae reigning' family there and had many kinsmen settled 

 there as saints. His brother, Gwyiiog or Winnow, was planted 

 on the Fowey. His nephews, Filius at Phileigh and Uvellus at 

 S. Eval, would doubtless warmly welcome him. S. Cadoc,* hisi 

 old fellow pupil, was there off and on, and would speak of him 

 to his kinsman S. Petrock. His fi'iend, Tighernach of Clones, 

 who had been associated with him in the cursing of Diarmid and.

He had a chapel at S. Issey, where he was known as Maidoc ; 

 and Smithick, the old name for Falmouth is supposed to be 

 derived from a chapel to S. Mithic, or Maidoc, but its existence

In Art he should be represented as a bishop carrying a hive 

 of bees.

* Aedan seems for a while to have been with S. Cadoe at Llancarvan, as he is 

 mentioned as having been employed by Cadoc in a negociation with King Arthur 

 relative to right of sanctuary.
