Memor etiam fragilitatis humanae, ut boni pastoris exemplum successoribus relinqueret, et non ad captandam gloriam, sepulchrum sibi ipsi, inter duas sacelli Divae Matris columnas, lapide quadrato in altum excitavit. Nec defuit illi quem in hac parte sequeretur author, vir optimus abbas Joannes Ellem, qui tabulam incomparabilem majoris arae in Kynlos suo aere adportavit; is etiam, constituto sibi sepulchro, in Divae Matris sacello ad austrum sepultus jacet.

Abbot John Ellem . . .also lies buried in the chapel of the Holy Mother to the south.
