| Original text: | Est apud Agripinensim urbem basilica, in qua dicuntur quinquaginta viri ex illa legione sacra Thebeorum pro Christi nomine martyrium consumasse. Et quia admirabili opere ex musivo quodam modo deaurata resplendet, Sanctos Aureos ipsam basilicam incolae vocitare voluerunt.
Quodam autem tempore Eberigisili episcopi, qui tunc huius urbis erat antestis, capitis medietas validis doloribus quatiebatur - erat tunc temporis in villa oppido proxima. Quo dolore, ut diximus, valde attenuatus, misit diaconem suum ad sanctorem basilicam. Et quia in ipsius templo medio peteus esse dicitur, in quo sancti post martyrium pariter sunt coniecti, collectum exinde pulverem detulit sacerdoti. Verum ubi exinde caput attigit, extemplo dolor omnis exemptus est. | ||||||||
| Translation text: | At Cologne there is a church in which the fifty men from the holy Theban Legion are said to have consummated their martyrdom for the name of Christ. And because the church, with its wonderful construction and mosaics, shines as if somehow gilded, the inhabitants prefer to call it the 'Church of the Golden Saints'. Once Eberigisilus, who was at the time bishop of Cologne, was racked with severe pains in half of his head. He was then in a villa near a village. Severely weakened by this pain, as I said, he sent his deacon to the church of the saints. Since there was said to be in the middle of this church a pit into which the saints were thrown together after their martyrdom, the deacon collected some dust there and brought it to the bishop. As soon as the dust touched Eberigisilus' head, immediately all pain was gone. | ||||||||
