    Original Text :At ille super his commotus ad hoc dedecus diluendum cum gravi manu viros eminentes, domesticis et externis rebus iam saepe claros factos, Guntharium et Sigifridum mittit in Calabriam. Graeci autem preterita victoria elati et minus cauti ceciderunt in manus eorum; ex quibus innumera multitudine caesa, quos supererant capientes, obtruncatis naribus Novam Romam remeare permiserunt.
