Hunc offerens Hadrianus pontifici, ut episcopus ordinaretur obtinuit: his tamen conditionibus interpositis, ut ipse eum perduceret Brittaniam, eo quod iam bis partes Galliarum diversis ex causis adiisset; et ob id maiorem huius itineris peragendi notitiam haberet, sufficiensque esset in possessione hominum propriorum: et ut ei doctrinae cooperator existens, diligenter adtenderet ne quid ille contrarium veritati fidei, Graecorum more, in ecclesiam cui praeesset, introduceret.
