Illius temporibus ecclesia beatae Agnetis a Gemello subdiacono istius sanctae Rauennatis ecclesiae et rectore Siciliae constructa est. Et multum ea ditauit in auro argento que et palleis sacris. Et crucem argenteam in processu construxit natalis ipsius martiris, et usque nostris temporibus perdurauit.
‘In his [Exuperantius, bishop of Ravenna, 473-477] time the church of St Agnes was built by Gemellus, sub-deacon of this holy church of Ravenna and rector of Sicily. And he endowed it greatly in gold and silver and holy banners and he built a silver cross for the procession of the feast (natalis) of this martyr, and it has lasted up to our time.’
