    Of Ciaroc, Cuaroc, or Mochuaroc, there is but little known. He was evidently an Ulster saint, and therefore is not to be confounded with the Mochuaroc of Desii in Munster, whose real name was Cronan (corrupted into Cuaran, Mochura, and Mochuaroc), and whose feast is marked by Aengus on the 9th of February11. vii. Id. Maii (May 9), p. 114, Sanctanus, episcopus. The Marty- rology of Aengus commemorates the saint at the 9th of May in these words : “Gppuc Sanccain pochla,” “ Bishop Santain of good repute.” The note or gloss is as follows : “ .1. o chill oa leip do. uc Ctenjup oicic. 7 nepcio ubi epc cell oa leip. 7 ip leipt)puim laijille 1 Upacpaije. Another gloss adds: .1.

He was of Ivill-da-leis; as Aengus says. And I know not where Kill-da-leis is. And to him belongs Druim-Laigille1 in Tradraighe. i. e. Bishop Sanctain was the son of Samuel Chendisel (low headed). Dectir, daughter of Muiredach Muinderg (red necked), was his mother: in futuro:[?] as the poet says : Bishop Sanctain is my beloved, The son of Samuel Chendisel, Dectir was his mother, without stain, The daughter of Muiredach Munderg.” Colgan refutes the suggestion, that Sanctanus may be identical with Sannanus, who is mentioned by the Scholiast on Fiech’s Ilymn, as a brother of St. Patrick. He says : “ Colitur enim Sanctanus Episcopus genere etiam Britannus die 9 Maii, in ecclesia de Kill-daleas in Lagenia, iuxta Martyrol. Taml.
