Commemoratorium de vita sancti Severini (511 - 511) Eugippius |
| Quotation |
Feletheus, Rugorum rex, qui et Feua, audiens cunctorum reliquias oppidorum, quae barbaricos euaserant gladios, Lauriaco se per dei famulum contulisse, assumpto ueniebat exercitu, cogitans repente detentos abducere et in oppidis sibi tributariis atque uicinis, ex quibus unum erat Fauianis, quae a Rugis tantummodo dirimebantur Danuuio, collocare. [...]
Igitur Romani, quos in sua sanctus Seuerinus fide susceperat, der Lauriaco discedentes pacificis dispositionibus in oppidis ordinati beniuola cum Rugis societate uixerunt. Ipse uero Fauianis degens in antiquo suo monasterio nec admonere populos nec praedicta futura cessabat, asserens uniuersos in Romani solo prouinciam absque ullo libretatis migraturos incommodo. |
| Translation |
Feletheus, sometimes called Feva, king of the Rugii, hearing that from all the towns by the advice of the servant of God the remnants that had escaped the barbarian sword had gathered at Lauriacum, took an army and came, purposing to bring them quickly into his own power and to lead them away and settle them in the towns, of which Favianis was one, that were tributary to him and near him, and were separated from the Rugii only by the Danube. [...]
Therefore the Romans whom Saint Severinus had received in his guardian care left Lauriacum, were amicably established in the towns, and lived in friendly alliance with the Rugii. But Severinus dwelt at Favianis in his old monastery, and ceased not to admonish the peoples and to foretell the future, declaring that all were to remove into a Roman province without any loss of liberty. |
| Summary |
The king of the Rugii settled the Romans, who had escaped from the fights at Lauriacum, in towns along the Danube that were situated on the oposite shore of his realm, among them Favianis (today Mautern, then part of Noricum ripense).
The Romans subsequently lived in a friendly alliance with the Rugians. Severinus returned to his old monastery near Favianis, where he predicted, that all (i.e. Romans) will soon be moved to a Roman province. |
