Life
Venerable Matog is listed on 25 April (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, as a pilgrim. His mother, Deichter, daughter of Muireadhach Muinderg, king of Ulster, was also mother of Bishop Sanctan. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
