Eodem autem anno Dominicae incarnationis sexcentesimo sexagesimo quarto, facta erat eclipsis solis die tertio mensis Maii, hora circiter decima diei: quo etiam anno subita pestilentiae lues, depopulatis prius australibus Brittaniae plagis, Nordanhymbrorum quoque provinciam corripiens; atque acerba clade diutius longe lateque desaeviens, magnam hominum multitudinem stravit.
Now in the same 664th year of the Lords incarnation an eclipse of the sun happened on the third day of the month of May about the tenth hour of the day: in the which year a sudden destructive plague, consuming first the southern regions of Britain, took hold also of the province of the Northumbrians; and raging far and wide with much continuance brought low in grievous ruin an infinite number of men.
