Anno ab incarnatione Domini centesimo quinquagesimo sexto Marcus Antoninus Verus, decimus quartus ab Augusto regnum cum Aurelio Commodo fratre suscepit : quorum temporibus cum Eleutherus vir sanctus pontificatui Romanae ecclesiae praeesset, misit ad eum Lucius Brittaniarum rex epistolam, obsecrans ut per eius mandatum Christianus efficeretur: et mox effectum piae postulationis consecutus est, susceptamque fidem Brittani usque in tempora Diocletiani principis inviolatam integramque quieta in pace servabant.
The 156th year of the incarnation of our Lord Marcus Antoninus Verus, the 14th emperor after Augustus, governed the empire with his brother Aurelius Commodus: in whose time Eleutherus, a holy man, being pope of the Church of Rome, Lucius king of the Britains wrote unto him a letter, desiring that by his commandment he might be made Christian: which his pious request shortly was granted him, whereby the Britons receiving then the faith kept it sound, and undefiled in rest and peace until Diocletian the emperors time.
