Scriptum uero est in tumba eiusdem Augustini epitaphium huiusmodi: "Hic requiescit domnus Augustinus Doruuernensis archiepiscopus primus, qui olim huc a beato Gregorio Romanae
urbis pontifice directus, et a Deo operatione miraculorum suffultus, Aedilberctum regem ac
gentem illius ab idolorum cultu ad Christi fidem perduxit, et completis in pace diebus officii sui
defunctus est septima kalendas Iunias eodem rege regnante". |
| Translation |
This is the epitaph inscribed on Augustine's tomb: 'Here lies the most reverend Augustine, first archbishop of Canterbury, who was formerly sent hither by St. Gregory, bishop of Rome; being supported by God in the working of miracles, he led King Æthelberht and his nation from the worship of idols to faith in Christ and ended the days of his office in peace; he died on the twenty-sixth day of May during the reign of the same king'. (Translation: Colgrave/Mynors, Oxford Medieval Texts, p. 145) |
