Original Text :	Arnulfus cum valido exercitu Langobardorum terminos intravit et circa purificationem sanctae Mariae castrum, quod nuncupatur Pergamum, armis cepit et Ambrosium comitem ipsius civitatis laqueo ante portam ipsius urbis in quadam arbore suspendit. Unde tantus timor super reliquas civitates cecidit, ut nullus auderet contradicere, sed omnes obviam procederent venienti.
