Quotation Valens autem a veritate catholicae fidei devius et Arrianae haeresis perversitate detentus missis haereticis sacerdotibus Gothos persuasione nefanda sui erroris dogmati adgregavit et in tam praeclaram gentem virus pestiferum semine pernicioso transfudit sicque errorem, quem recens credulitas ebibit, tenuit diuque servavit.
Translation But Valens, who had stayed from the truth of the Catholic faith and held the perversity of the Arian heresy, sent them heretical priests and by wicked persuasion attached the Goths to his own erroneous doctrine, and by a destructive seed he transferred a noxious poison into such a famous nation, and thus kept and preserved for a long time the error, which credulous people had recently absorbed.
