Ἤδη δὲ Ἀλλαρίχου περὶ τὴν Ῥώμην ὄντος καὶ καταστήσαντος εἰς τὴν πολιορκίαν τοὺς ἔνδον, ἐν ὑποψίᾳ ἔλαβε τὴν Σερήναν ἡ γερουσία, οἷα τοὺς βαρβάρους κατὰ τῆς Πόλεως ἀγαγοῦσαν, καὶ ἐδόκει κοινῇ τε τῇ γερουσίᾳ πάσῃ καὶ Πλακιδίᾳ τῇ ὁμοπατρίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως ἀδελφῇ ταύτην ἀναιρεθῆναι τῶν περιεστώτων κακῶν οὖσαν αἰτίαν: καὶ Ἀλλάριχον γὰρ αὐτὸν Σερήνας ἐκποδὼν γενομένης ἀναχωρήσειν τῆς πόλεως οἷα μηδενὸς ὄντος ἔτι τοῦ προδώσειν τὴν πόλιν ἐλπιζομένου.
