''c''.450–c.700)." Sources No hagiographical ''Life'' is known to have been written for Colmán, but various aspects of his life are presented in different types of sources, such as Irish annals, genealogies and martyrologies. An early origin tale known as '' Conall Corc and the Corco Loígde'', which survives only as part of the Irish genealogical tract in MS Laud 610, includes a few brief notes on the saint. This text was probably written at Colmán's foundation of Cloyne and though it cannot be precisely dated, a rough approximate of ''c''. 700 or earlier has been suggested.
