Extract from a letter asking Stephanus to sort out problems in a monastery of St George:
Insinuatum igitur nobis est in massa quae nuncupatur Maratodis ab abbate monasterii sancti Georgii quod in eadem situm est duos monachos refugisse, et unum quidem ex eis iam coniugem accepisse, alium autem laicum effectum saeculariter uiuere.
‘And it has been suggested to us by the abbot of the monastery of Saint George, which is situated in the domain called Maratodis, that two monks have taken refuge there, and one of them has in fact already taken a wife from the locals, while the other lives a secular life, having become a layman.’
