Cum subito Elafius pedibus advolvitur sacerdotum, offerens filium, cuius necessitatem ipsa debilitas etiam sine precibus adlegabat: fit communis omnium dolor, praecipue sacerdotum, qui conceptam misericordiam ad divinam clementiam contulerunt: statimque adolescentem beatus Germanus sedere compulit, adtrectat poplitem debilitate curvatum, et per tota infirmitatis spatia medicabilis dextera percurrit, salubremque tactum sanitas festina subsequitur.
This done, upon a sudden Elafius falleth down at the feet of the bishops, offering them his son, whose pitiful case of itself alone needed no prayers to intreat for the relief thereof: every man of himself pitied the young man, especially the bishops, who altogether (according to the pity they felt) beseeched the clemency of God; and forthwith blessed Germanus made the young man sit down, he feeleth the knee bowed inward by the infirmity, and with his curing right hand runneth over all the affected place as far as the grief went, and each part as soon as it felt his healing touch quickly became sound.
