Quotation	Ebrietas Calabros minus vigiles esse permittit: nam et hunc diem celebrem habentes, ex more conviviis et potationibus studuerunt … Sic castrum praeda et redemptione captivorum ditans, Calabros crebris incursionibus plurimum lacessivit.
Translation	Drink will make the Calabrians less watchful, and since they treat today as a feast day, they will as usual be devoting themselves to eating and drinking … Thus the castrum was enriched both with the booty and with the prisoners' ransoms, and he launched frequent and very damaging raids against the Calabrians.
