Life
Saint Rheithian is a saint of the undivided Church of whom Baring-Gould writes that nothing is known beyond the fact that he is the patron of Llanrheithan (Llanrheithon) in Dewisland, Pembrokeshire.
The historian George Owen (1552-1613) wrote in a note "the festival of Caron of Llanrheithan, on 5 March", from which it appears that the church was regarded as dedicated to Ciaran or Caron. A Terethianus occurs in the cartulary of Quimperle, whom Loth considers probably the same as the Torithgen and Torithien of the cartulary of Redon and the Torithian of the Bodmin Gospel.
