Original Text :	Sed superveniente cum exercitu Ottone rege, 4. Idus Augusti pugna valida nimis committitur, multum humani sanguinis funditur, caedes Ungariorum inmensa sequitur, alveus fluminis fugientium et morientium cadaveribus oppletur, et paucissimis fuga elapsis, innumerabilis eorum exercitus ad internitionem deletur.
