Cum essent hostes iam in contuitu, membris omnibus celeres, post missilia hinc inde crebrius iacta, committitur certamen asperrimum,interque gemitus mortis et vulnerum, audiebantur barbarorum ululabiles fletus captorum et caesorum, pugnaque dirempta plures agri populati sunt et incensi.
When the enemy, active in all their limbs, were in sight, a fierce battle began after volleys of missiles from both sides; amid the groans of the dying and the wounded the mournful howls of the barbarians were heard, as they were taken prisoner or killed; and when the contest was ended, many fields were plundered and burned.
