Siquidem anno incarnationis Dominicae quingentesimo sexagesimo quinto, quo tempore gubernaculum Romani imperii post Iustinianum Iustinus minor accepit, venit de Hibernia presbyter et abbas habitu et vita monachi insignis, nomine Columba Brittaniam, praedicaturus verbum Dei provinciis septentrionalium Pictorum, hoc est, eis quae arduis atque horrentibus montium iugis ab australibus eorum sunt regionibus sequestratae.
For in the 565th year of the Lords incarnation (at which time Justin the younger, succeeding Justinian, received the governance of the Roman empire), there came to Britain from Ireland a priest and abbot notable by his dress and life of a monk, called Columba, to preach the word of God to the provinces of the northern Redshanks, that is to say, to those that by high and hideous ridges of hills were dissevered from the southern regions inhabited by Redshanks.
