Translation.
Four clerical students of the men of Ireland went on a pilgrimage abroad to go to Rome. As they were going to Rome they put up with a famous man of the Franks. Wine and wheat was given them. It pleased them well. “This is what we should like, now, to talk to this good man after coming from Rome, that he may give us some hermitage here, so that we may be in it as pilgrims; for plentiful is every produce here both wine and wheat, and every other produce.”
