Anno Dominicae incarnationis sexcentesimo septuagesimo octavo, qui est annus imperii regis Ecgfridi octavus, apparuit mense Augusto stella quae dicitur cometa; et tribus mensibus permanens, matutinis horis oriebatur, excelsam radiantis flammae quasi columnam praeferens.
The 678th year of the Lords incarnation, which is the 8th year of the reign of king Egfrid, there appeared in the month of August a star which is called a comet; the which continued three months, rising in the morning hours and giving forth as it were an high pillar of glittering flame.
