As concerning Dover and Canterbury, whether the sea, was likewise translated from the town of Dover to the City of Cant. in the time of Theodorns: or whether Canterbury by old time had the name of Dorobernia (as the letter of Lancfrancus to Pope Alexander, above mentioned, doth pretend) I find it not in histories expressly defined. Save that I read by the words of William bring yet Duke of Normandy, charging then Harold to make a well of water for the kings use in the Castle of Dorobernia: that the said Dorobernia then was taken for that which now we call Dover: but whether Dorobernia and the City of Cant, be both one or divers, the matter is not great. Notwithstanding ⟨p. 174⟩this I read in the epistle of Pope Bonifacius to king Ethelbert,1 as also to Justinus Archbish. Item in the epistle of pope Honorius, to bishop Honorius. Item, of Pope Uitalianus, to Theodorus: of Pope Sergius to king Ethelred, Alfred, and Adulphus, and to the Bishops of england. Likewise of pope Gregory the 3. to the Bishops of England. Item of Pope Leo to Atherlard Archbishop of Cant. Of Formosus to the bishops of England: and of Pope John to Dunstan, that the name of Dorobernia & of Canterbury indifferently are taken for one matter.

Saue that I read by ye words of William bring yet Duke of Normandie, charging then Harolde to make a welle of water for the kings vse in the Castel of Dorobernia: that the said Dorobernia then was taken for that which nowe we call Douer: but whether Dorobernia and the Citie of Cant, be both one or diuers, the matter is not great. Notwithstanding ⟨p. 174⟩this I read in the epistle of Pope Bonifacius to king Ethelbert,1 as also to Iustinus Archbish. Item in the epistle of pope Honorius, to bishop Honorius.
