Original Text :	Insuper eiusdem partis qui presto aderant episcopi, a fugientibus quibusdam falsariis audito quasi rex H. vicerit, cum suis in diversa fugerant. Ex quibus cardinalis Romanus cum plerisque aliis satis periclitatus est, nec non a latronibus Sceiavis in silvis, quo latibulum querebant, episcopus Partenopolitanus sagitta percussus est, Baderbrunnensis captus, exspoliatus et ferme nudus profugit ab eis; et Wormatiensis itidem captus, regi Heinrico cum Herimanno nobili quodam comite contraditus est.
