Sonitu enim adventantium perciti, exsiluere quidam intempestive, visique subito, dum se firmare festinant, ululantibus lugubre barbaris, vertuntur in pedes. Stetere tamen mox conglobati, extremaque sorte vires (licet non integras) suggerente, confligere cogebantur, multaque caede perculsi, concidissent nullo relicto, ni cataphractorum equitum cuneus, ad inferendum periculum transeuntibus barbaris, ex alio latere prope divortium itineris, pari modo locatus, clamore percitus tristi, agiliter subvenisset.
