"Rotrudes femina et filias meas…et Vuibertus et uxor mea Goudovara et Emmo" sold property "in comitatu Helenense in Valle-Asperi…alode…Costogia" to "Avane comitissa et filio tuo Holibano" by charter dated 1 Jun 936[797]. "Seniofredo conde de Cerdaña y Besalú y su hermano Oliva conde" donated "el alodio de Aiguatebia" to "Isarno vizconde del Conflent" by charter dated 15 Oct 960[798].

His parentage is confirmed by a document dated 941 under which "Miron…levita…con su madre Ava y sus hermanos los condes Seniofredo, Wifredo y Oliva" donated property to the monastery of Cuxá[799]. "Oliba…comes Bisuldun" granted concessions to the abbess of Saint-Jean by charter dated 966[800]. "Oliba comes et marchio et uxor mea Ermengarda" donated property "in comitatu Ausona in valle Riopullensi" to Oliba abbey by charter dated 16 Aug 967[801].

He tried to subjugate the county of Rasès but was defeated in 981 by the Comte de Carcassonne-Rasès[803]. "Oliba comes et coniux mea Ermengards" donated property to Sant Llorenç de Bagà by charter dated 15 Jan 981, subscribed by "Bernardus prolis, Wifredus prolis, Oliba prolis, Bernardus vicecomes Cerdaniense, Bernardus vicecomite Confluente"[804].

He abdicated in 988 and entered the Benedictine monastery at Montecasino. The Gesta Comitum Barcinonensium records the death in 990 of "Olibano Cabretæ"[807]. A charter dated 988 records that "Bernardus comes cum filio suo Guilliermo et…Guifredus frater eius" were left under the protection of the Pope by "piæ memoriæ patre Oliba comite"[808], which suggests that Oliba died shortly before this date.
