We do not know exactly what was the function of the reference to the king, but most probably it was the way of expressing the date of the death of the presbyter. Gómez Moreno (1925: 132) proposed the identification of this Flainus with the presbyter Flainus mentioned by Valerius of Bierzo in his Ordo quaerimoniae as a presbyter basiliculae in a place called Castrum Petrense (Pico del Castro?).
