Life
On 12 June (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Agatan of Disert Agatain. The text traces the line to Cairbre Riada, son of Conaire. The Calendar and Breviary of Aberdeen keep the same day, and old glosses on the Felire of Oengus confuse the name with other saints. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
