| Translation text: | even though for three years the Scarpe conveyed me along the shores of the Ocean in a boat, the Scheldt often soaked me while I cut a path through its gentle passages in a skiff, and the humid fen of the Elnone made my feet wet as I assisted the venerable bishop Amandus, who had been appointed to these regions in order to cut down the long-established errors of the Sicambrians with the blade of the Gospel | ||||||||
