sed, quod fatendum est, diu erectis utrimque amoris machinis ipse culmina pretiosa posuisti ecclesiam Arverni municipioli, cui praepositus, etsi immerito, videor, peropportuna oblatione locupletando; cuius possessioni plurimum contulisti Cuticiacensis praedii suburbanitate, non minus nostrae professionis fraternitatem loci proximitate dignatus ditare quam reditu.
But (as I must admit) although the masonry of love had long been erected on both sides, it was you who set a costly coping upon it by enriching with your most timely donation the church of the little town of the Arverni over which I, though unworthy, am now the reputed head. To the property of this church you have made a great contribution by your gift of the farm of Cuticiacum so near to the city; indeed the possession with which you have seen fit to enrich the brotherhood of our profession is valuable for its proximity no less than for the revenue which it gives.
