| Quotation | Inde progrediens, urbem, quae Avalona dicitur, juxta Emathios campos, quia confinio, quo applicuerat, adjacens erat, mox oppugnatum vadit. Porro cives, ducis adventu audito, praesentiaque nimium territi, viribus suis magis deficientes, deditione de seipsis facta, eius ditioni cum ipsa urbe subduntur. |
| Translation | Then he [Roger] set out and immediately went to besiege a city called Avlona, near the Campi Emazi, since it lay very close to the coast where he had landed. Hearing of the duke's arrival, the citizens were absolutely terrified by his presence, and having little confidence in their own strength they surrendered both themselves and their city to his rule |
