    Original Text :Rex nonnulla his similia dicere cuperat, cum volipes nuntius Hungarios in Meresburg, quod est in Saxonum , Turingionum et Sclavorum confinio castrum, esse nuntiabat. Adiecerat etiam eos non modicam parvulorum ac mulierum habere praedam, virorum vero inmensam fecisse stragem; condixerant enim a decimo et deinceps anno neminem se superstitem relicturos, quatinus per hoc terrorem non parvum Saxonibus adhiberent. Rex igitur, ut erat animi constans, talibus non terretur; verum magis magisque, ut pro patria pugnare ac laudabiliter debeant occumbere, exhortatur.
