    When the Jews were looking for Our Saviour they were inquiring one day of a crowd of people whether He had passed by that place and when. The people would not give them any information but a dara-daol who was near said "'ndé, 'ndé". This conveyed to them that he had passed on the previous day.
    Ever since the dara-daol is looked upon as a traitor and it is said to be such a good thing to kill one that a person's sins will be forgiven who kills him. When a person kills one he must say: "Gach aon cheann 'es mo pheacaibh ort, a dhara- daol dubh". Some people say : "Seacht gcinn 'es mo pheacaíbh ort a dhara-daol dubh".
