Original Text :	Nam Ungarii nichil cunctantes Lech fluvium transierunt circumeuntesque exercitum extremam legionem sagittis lacessere coeperunt; et inpetu cum ingenti vociferatione facto, aliis caesis vel captis, sarcinis omnibus potiti, caeteros legionis illius armatos fugere compulerunt. Similiter septimam ac sextam aggressi, plurimis ex eis fusis, in fugam verterunt.
