Quotation	DCCCV. Non multo post capcanus, princeps Hunorum , propter necessitatem populi sui imperatorem adiit, postulans sibi locum dari ad habitandum inter Sabariam et Carnuntum, quia propter infestationem Sclavorum in pristinis sedibus esse non poterat. Quem imperator benigne suscepit - erat enim capcanus christianus nomine Theodorus - et precibus eius annuens muneribus donatum redire permisit. Qui rediens ad populum suum pauco tempore transacto diem obiit. Et misit caganus unum de optimatibus suis, petens sibi honorem antiquum, quem caganus apud Hunos habere solebat. Cuius precibus imperator adsensum praebuit et summam totius regni iuxta priscum eorum ritum caganum habere praecepit.
Translation	805 - Not long afterward the capcan, a prince of the Huns, approached the emperor because of the predicament of his people and asked him to give them a place to settle between Szombathely and Carnuntum (Petronell). The Huns could not stay in their previous dwelling places on account of the attacks of the Slavs. The emperor received him graciously-for the capcan was a Christian by the name of Theodore-agreed to his request, and permitted him to return home with presents. The capcan died a short while after returning to his people. And the khagan sent one of his magnates asking for the ancient dignity which the khagan used to have among the Huns. The emperor agreed to his request and ordered that the khagan, according to the ancient custom of the Huns, was to be lord over the whole kingdom.
Summary	805 - The Kapkhan Theodor of the Avars asked Charlemagne to assign the Avars a stretch of land because they were constantly attacked by the Slavs. The emperor gave them a place between Savaria (today Szombathely) and Carnuntum (today Petronell). Shortly afterwards the Kapkhan died and Charlemagne gave the Khagan the right to be lord of the Avars.
