Original Text :	Quoddam castellum in Constantiensi territorio, quod ad sanctum Loth dicebatur, obsident et accessum ad fontem aquae ex toto prohibentes, oppidanis siti arescentibus, fit deditio eo pacto, ut vita tantum concessa cetera tollerent. Illis a munitione progressis gens perfida fidem et promissa data profanat omnesque absque respectu iugulat; inter quos episcopum Constantiensis ecclesiae interimunt.
