Severinus asks a man whom he ransomed to go to the market of the barbarians and find there a certain person. The man goes to the market and finds the person described by Severinus. It turns out that he was seeking Severinus because he carries with himself the relics of which he feels himself unworthy.
9. (3) Qui debito sanctorum Geruasii et Protasii martyrum reliquias honore suscipiens in basilica, quam in monasterio construxerat, collocauit officio sacerdotum. Quo loco martyrum congregauit sanctuaria plurimorum, quae tamen praeeunte semper reuelatione promeruit, sciens aduersarium saepe subrepere sub nomine sanctitatis.
