Original text:Interim advenientibus Kalendis Septembribus Gothorum magna legatio ad regem Chilpericum accedit. Ipse vero iam regressus Parisius ... Iam vero vale faciens puella post lacrimas et oscola, cum de porta egrederetur, uno carrucae effracto axe ... Denique haec de Parisius progressa, octavo ab urbe miliario tenturia figi praecepit ... Erant autem cum ea viri magnifici Bobo dux, filius Mummolini, cum uxore, quasi paranymphus, Domigysilus et Ansovaldus, maior domus autem Waddo, qui olim Sanctonicum rexerat comitatum.
Translation text:On 1 September a great embassy of Visigoths came to see King Chilperic. He took up residence in Paris once more ... At length the time came for the Princess to say good-bye. The tears streamed down her face as she kissed her parents. As she drove through the city gate, one of the axles of her carriage broke ... As she left Paris ... Many men of great distinction went with her: Duke Bobo, the son of Mummolen ... Domigisel, Ansovald and Waddo, major-domo of the Princess's household and onetime Count of Saintes.
