| Original text: | Adhuc animum tendens ad opus misericordiae, Attejas domum instruit, ubi lectis culte compositis, congregatis egenis feminis, ipsa eas lavans in thermis, morborumque curans putredines, virorum capita diluens, ministerium faciens, quos ante lavarat eisdem sua manu miscebat, ut fessos de sudore sumpta potio recrearet. |
| Translation text: | Turning her mind to further works of mercy, she built a house at Athies where beds were elegantly made up for needy women gathered there. She would wash them herself in warm baths, tending to the putrescence of their diseases. She washed the heads of men, acting like a servant. |
