H. White translation
Multi ex Brittonibus Christiani sævitiam Diocletiani timentes ad eos coufugerant........ut vita functorum cellæ in templa commutarentur. (Buchanan, iv. c. xxxv.) Many Christians from Britain, fearing the cruelty of Diocletian, took refuge among the Scots......and the cells in which their holy lives were spent, were changed into churches.
