Postremo Narbonensem Galliam suam facit gentemque Francorum frequentibus bellis stimulat et seditas Saracenorum in predictum Narbonensem oppidum ad prresidise tuenda decenter conlocat. Adque in concurrenti uirtute iam dictus dux Tolosam usque preliando peruenit eamque obsidione congens fundis et diuersis generum macinis expugnare conauit…
Translation …Booty, portable things and whatever there was- which all the Arab people has left undivided as booty in Spania.

And with bold courage the aforementioned commander came all the way up to Tolosa through fighting and surrounding it with siege he attempted to take it by storm through various kinds of schemes and machinations.
