| Original text: | Veniente autem illo ad villam cui nomen est Victuriaco [...] tunc duo pueri cum cultris validis, quos vulgo scramasaxos vocant, infectis vinino [...] utraque ei latera feriunt. At ille vociferans atque conruens, non post multo spatio emisit spiritum. Ibique et Charegyselus cubicularius eius conruit; ibi et Sigila, quo quondam ex Ghotia venerat |
