Electus est autem primo in episcopatum Hagustaldensis ecclesiae pro Tunbercto qui ab episcopatu fuerat depositus: sed quoniam ipse plus Lindisfarnensi ecclesiae in qua conversatus fuerat dilexit praefici; placuit ut Eata reverso ad sedem ecclesiae Hagustaldensis cui regendae primo fuerat ordinatus, Cudberct ecclesiae Lindisfarnensis gubernacula susciperet.
Now Cuthbert was first chosen to be bishop of the church of Hexham in Tunberts place, who had been deposed from his bishopric: but inasmuch as he himself rather desired to be set over Lindisfarne church in which he had sometime lived, it seemed good that Eata should return to the see of Hexham church, to the governance of which he had first been ordained, and Cuthbert should take the charge of Lindisfarne church.
