Text	De rebus gestis Rogerii Calabriae et Siciliae comitis et Roberti Guiscardi ducis fratris eius (1075 - 1100) Geoffrey Malaterra
Quotation	Urbs tota lacrimoso ululatu ventilatur, in tantum, ut ipsos Saracenos, nostro generi invisos, non quidem ex amore, sed ex moerore quo nostros affici videbant, pietatis affectus pervadens, ad lacrimas usque pertraheret.
Translation	The whole city resounded to tearful wailing, to such an extent that it caused tears even among the Saracens, the enemies of our race, not indeed out of real love, but rather because of kindly emotions stirred when they saw the sadness afflicting our people
