Erat autem quando obiit annorum septuaginta quatuor, presbyterii gradu functus annis quadraginta septem, abbatis officium ministrans annis triginta quinque, vel potius annis quadraginta tribus, quia scilicet a primo tempore quo Benedictus in honore beatissimi apostolorum principis suum coepit condere monasterium, ipse illi comes individuus, cooperator et doctor regularis et monasticae institutionis aderat.
Now at the time of his death he was 74 years of age, 47 of which he had spent in the priests office, 35 in the discharge of an abbots duties, or rather 43, because indeed from the first time in which Benedict began to build the monastery in honour of the most blessed chief of the apostles, Ceolfrid was not divided from his company, and was his helper and fellow teacher of the regular and monastical life.
