    There was a landlord over ths place named Maram. He was a bad man and the people hated him. He was afraid of them but his brother who was a bishop told him he could not be shot. He used to wear a coat of mail and ride a war-horse. One day he was out riding and someone fired a shot at him. It did not wound him because of the coat of mail.
