In the Martyrology of Donegal (9 August), he is described as the priest (cruimthir) Nath \u00CD of Achad Cain Conairi. He is said to have studied under St Finni\u00E1n of Clonard. On the instructions of his mentor, he founded a monastery in Achad Cain or Achad Conaire (Achonry) in the district of the Luigne, the land having been granted to him by Cennf\u00E1elad, king of Luigne. The foundation gave its name to what in the 12th century would become the diocese of Achonry. The saint F\u00E9ch\u00EDn of Fore is said to have studied under him. The Book of Lismore (fo. 43v) contains a short Irish anecdote relating what happened when Nath \u00CD, called Dathi the Priest, was once visited by the saints Columba, Comgall and Cainnech after the monastic community had finished their meals. He was buried in Achad Cain and his festival is 9 August. He is the patron saint of the Irish diocese of Achonry whose cathedral is The Cathedral Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Nathy."@en . .
