Denique fertur quia facta citato opere cruce, ac fovea praeparata in qua statui deberet, ipse fide fervens hanc arripuerit, ac foveae imposuerit, atque utraque manu erectam tenuerit donec adgesto a militibus pulvere terrae figeretur.
In short, the report is that (the cross being made with quick speed and the hole prepared wherein it should be set), the king himself, being fervent in faith, did take it in haste and did put it in the hole, and further held it with both his hands when it was set up until it was fastened to the earth with dust which the soldiers heaped about it.
