Cum vero restitutus esset in regnum Coinualch, venit in provinciam de Hibernia pontifex quidam, nomine Agilberctus, natione quidem Gallus, sed tune legendarum gratia Scripturarum in Hibernia non parvo tempore demoratus, coniunxitque se regi, sponte ministerium praedicandi adsumens: cuius eruditionem atque industriam videns rex, rogavit eum, accepta ibi sede episcopali, suae gentis manere pontificem; qui precibus eius adnuens, multis annis eidem genti sacerdotali iure praefuit.
Now when Cenwalh had been restored to his kingdom, there came out of Ireland into his province a certain prelate, named Agilbert, a Frenchman born, yet having made long abode in Ireland for the sake of reading the Scriptures; and this bishop joined himself to the king, taking upon him of his own accord the ministry of preaching: and the king, seeing his learning and industry, entreated him to receive the see of a bishopric there and remain as bishop of his people; which he consenting to his prayers accepted, and ruled the same people many years with the authority of bishop.
