| Quotation |
Porro Jordanus, filius comitis, et Robertus de Surda- valle et Elias Cartomensis - qui ex Saracenis ad fidem Christi conversus, postea apud Castrum- Johannis a sua gente hostiliter interfectus, quia negando apostata fieri noluit, martyrio vitam laudabiliter finivit |
| Translation |
The count's son Jordan, Robert de Sourdeville and Elias Cartomensis then raised an army and set out for Catania. Elias was a convert from the Saracens to the Christian faith, and was afterwards brutally slain by his own people at Castrogiovanni. Since he refused to deny that faith and become an apostate, he thus ended his life most admirably as a martyr |
