Life

On 9 August (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records The Four Sons of Dioman. The text says all four were of Cill mor Dithruibh, except Cruimther Nathi; a bracketed note adds Cruimther Biagan, with doubt. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the entry. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.

Commemorated the same day August 9
