| Original text: | Quae veniens in sortem praecelsi regis Chlotharii, in Veromandensem ducta, Adteias in villa regia nutriendi causa custodibus est deputata. Quae puella inter alia opera, quae sexui eius congruebant, litteris est erdita, frequenter loquens cum parvulis [...] psallendo ad oratorium cum gravitate matura simul parvuli properabant, et ipsa tamen cum sua veste nitidans pavimentum. Circa altare vero cum facitergio iacentem pulverem colligens, foris cum reverentia recondebat potius, quam vergebat |

| Translation text: | Falling to the lot of the illustrious King Clothar, she was taken to Athies in Vermandois, a royal villa, and her upbringing was entrusted to guardians. The maiden was taught letters and others things suitable to her sex and she would often converse with other children there [...] the children would troop into the oratory as somber as adults. Radegund herself would polish the pavement with her dress and, collecting the drifting dust around the altar in a napkin, reverently placed it outside the door rather than sweep it away. |
