Life
Saint Meuthi (Meuthin) was a devout Irish hermit to whom Saint Cadoc was sent at the age of seven and with whom he stayed twelve years, learning from him; Meuthi also baptized him. His name survives in Llanfeuthin (Llanfeithin), near Llancarfan, where a grant of the early thirteenth century mentions a chapel dedicated to him. The Life of Saint Tathan places Tathan in the same role, so the names seem to point to one person. The veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
