Qui nullam ad tuendam salutem viam superesse cernentes, ni se celeri defendissent occursu, locorum gnaritate confisi, unum spirantibus animis, montem occupavere praecelsum, per confragosos colles undique praeruptum et invium, absque septentrionali latere (unde facilem habet devexitatem et mollem). Signis ilico fixis ex more, cum undique ad arma conclamaretur, imperio principis et ductorum stetit regibilis miles, vexillum opperiens extollendum: quod erat opportune subeundae indicium pugnae.
