(David, otherwise called Dobi, Biteus, or Mobiou), an Irish priest and saint, preached with great success in his own country and in Alba, and was patron saint of Domnach Cluana, now Donachcloney, in the county of Down, and of Kippen, in Scotland, where a famous church was dedicated under his patronage, by the name of Movean. We still have Kippendavie besides Dunblane. To him, probably, more than to St. David or Dewi of Wales, are the Celtic dedications to St. David to be assigned. He is commemorated July 22.
