Nam ad gregata copia exercitus adversus Arabas una cum Mauros a Muze missos, id est, Taric, Abuzura et ceteros, diu sibi provinciam creditam incursantibus simulque et plerasque civitates deuastantibus, anno imperii Iustiniani quinto, Arabum nonagesimo tertio, Vlit sexto, in era DCCL Transductis promonturiis sese cum eis confligendo recepit eoque prelio, fugatum omnem Gothorum exercitum, qui cum eo emulanter fraudulenterque ob ambitionem regni aduenerant, cecidit. |
| Translation |
In the times of this man in era 749 [711 CE] in the fourth year of his rule, and the ninety-second of the Arabs, as Ulit retained the scepters of rule through the fifth year, Rudericus invaded the kingdom in a tumult with the Senate's support. He ruled for one year. So the force of the army was gathered against the Arabs who were together with the Moors sent by Muza: that is, Taric Abuzara and the others. For a long time they had been launching incursions into a province effectively loaned to them and at the same time were laying waste to very many cities. In the fifth year of Iustinianus' rule, and the ninety-third of the Arabs, the sixth of Ulit, in era 750 at the Transductine promontories he came to blows with them and fell in that battle with the routing of the whole army of the Goths, who had arrived with him in envy and fraud on account of the ambition for the kingdom.
