| Quotation |
Per idem tempus diue memorie Sinderedus, urbis regie metropolitanus episcopus, sanctimonie studio claret atque longebos et merito honorabiles uiros, quos in supra fatam sibi conmissam eclesiam repperit, non secundum scientiam zelo sanctitatis stimulat, adque instinctu iam dicti Wittize principis eos sub eius tempore conuexare, non ut pastor, sed ut mercennarius, Xpi oues contra decreta maiorum deserens, Romanie patrie sese aduentat. |
| Translation |
In the same period Sinderedus of divine memory- the metropolitan bishop of the royal city- was pre-eminent by virtue of his piety he aroused aged and honourable men in merit, whom he had found in the aforementioned church entrusted to him, with envy for piety but not according to knowledge. Rather, at the instigation of the aforementioned princeps Vuitiza, he did not cease to push against them in his time. Frightened considerably at the invasions of the Arabs, not as a pastor, but as a hireling he abandoned the sheep of Christ against the decrees of the elders and brought himself to the Roman realm.
