Porro fratribus, qui in Lindisfarnensi ecclesia, Scottis abeuntibus, remanere maluerunt, praepositus est abbatis iure vir reverentissimus ac mansuetissimus Eata, qui erat abbas in monasterio quod dicitur Mailros: quod aiunt Colmanum abiturum petiisse et impetrasse a rege Osuiu, eo quod esset idem Eata unus de duodecim pueris Aidani, quos primo episcopatus sui tempore de natione Anglorum erudiendos in Christo accepit.
Furthermore, at the departure of the Scots, Eata, a most reverend and meek person, was set over the brethren which chose to remain in the church at Lindisfarne, with authority of abbot, and he before was abbot in the monastery which is named Mailros: and this it is said was obtained of king Oswy by the suit of Colman at the point of his departure, because that the same Eata was one of the twelve scholars of Aidan, which at his first coming as bishop he took out of the English nation to be brought up in Christ.
