Text	Tractatus super Donatum (801 - 850) Erchanbert of Freising
Quotation	Agnomen est quod extrinsecus ab aliquo evenit eventu, ut Scipio Africanus ob hoc dictus quia rebellem semper Africam imperio Romanorum adiecit, et Carolus Saxonicus quia Saxoniam viriliter regno Francorum subegit.
Translation	Agnomen is what is given from the outside on the basis of some occurrence, as in the case of Scipio Africanus, who was called this way because he added the continuously revolting Africa to the Roman dominion (or better empire?), and in the case of Carolus Saxonicus as well, because he manfully subjugated Saxony to the authority (or better kingdom?) of the Franks.
