Ecclesiam uero beati Andreae apostoli hic Rauennae cum omni diligentia, non longe a regione Herculana, columnas marmoreas suffulsit, ablatas que uetustas ligneas de nucibus proconnisas decorauit. Tunc ablatum corpus ipsius apostoli Rauennam ducere conabatur.
‘He decorated with all diligence the church of St Andrew the apostle here in Ravenna, not far from the Herulana region; having removed the old wooden columns made of nut trees, he filled the church with columns of proconnensian marble. Then he tried to bring the stolen body of the apostle to Ravenna.’
