''Imor was a very respectable man living in Sil-Anmhcadha a long time ago (never remembers dates ) and had no idea originally of becoming a saint, but had intended to apply himself to increasing the number of the human family in a lawful manner (procreandis operam dare sibi proposuit ) and for this purpose he married a very beautiful girl, a native of Ely O'Carroll on the other side of the Shannon. But before he had seen her she had been wooed by another who was driven to desperation on hearing of her marriage with Imor, and he swore that he would never suffer her to be brought to Connacht. Accordingly on the day that Imor went with a party of his friends to take her home, he (Munster rival ), having collected a body of the men of Slieve Bloom, attacked him on the way after he had cross (the Shannon), and made a desperate effort to carry off the bride. But the Connaught (party) were equally vigorous in resisting, and the poor girl was killed in the struggle between them! After this Imor became a melancholy recluse and swore to (he would) dedicate his virginity to God. He never took holy orders, but still was always esteemed as an Irish saint.
