Translation He erected a cathedral for a bishop in the city of Agrigento: and he endowed it in perpetuity by a chirograph document with lands, tithes and various riches which were suitably calculated to be enough for the bishop and clergy, granting it also vessels sufficient for the holy altar. He appointed to this church to be ordained as bishop Gerlandus, from the nation of the Allobroges [i.e. Savoy], who was, so they say, a man of great charity and very learned in ecclesiastical matters.
