Original Text :	sed ad ultimum reversus, tam notanda quam felici victoria vicit, magnumque mundo documentum datum est, ut nemo contra dominum suum consurgat. Nam abscisa R dextera dignissimam periurii vindictam demonstravit, qui fidem domino suo regi iuratam violare non timuit; et tamquam alia vulnera non sufficerent ad mortem, accessit etiam huius membri pena, ut per poenam agnosceretur et culpa.
