Quotation Quid uero? Statim, uixdum misero illo furore sopito, cum omnes barbariae nationes excidium uniuersae Galliae minarentur neque solum Burgundiones et Alamanni, sed etiam Chaibones Eruli que, uiribus primi barbarorum, locis ultimi, praecipiti impetu in has prouincias inruissent, quis deus tam insperatam salutem nobis attulisset, nisi tu adfuisses?
Translation
Summary The oldest Latin reference to the Heruli. These, together with the otherwise unknown Chaibones, are described as a threat for Roman Gaul. However, the orator praises Emperor Maximian for having crushed them.
