The document is printed-with an English translation-by B. Thorpe in his Diplomatarium, pp. 321-324, from the counterpart in possession of the Monks of Winchester Cathedral, as inserted into their Codex Wintoniensis [w.], Brit. Mus. Add. MS., 15,350, f. 1146, after a Charter of King Canute, dated A.D. 1035. The variant readings are too numerous for collation, I therefore give the text from the Codex here in full; and a translation based on Thorpe's, but with some alterations.

I make known to thee, lord, that now three years ago I lay within my cell about noon-tide, and there the holy Cuthbert openly appeared to me. this I was very blithe: I went to my abbot Elfwine, and prayed him that I might go north to the saint and seek him; but my abbot Elfwine refused me this and also forbade it. Then I took my own counsel and betook me thither north, and there Ægelwine, bishop [of Durham], received me with worship, and God and the saint granted me that I should touch [wash w.] him with my 1 circ.
