Quotation	Qui Feletheus illis diebus ulteriorem Danubii ripam incolebat, quam a Norici finibus idem Danubius separat. In his Noricorum finibus beati tunc erat Severini coenobium. [...] Adunatis igitur Odoacar gentibus quae eius dicioni parebant, id est Turcilingis et Herolis Rugorumque parte, quos iam dudum possidebat, necnon etiam Italiae populis, venit in Rugiland pugnavitque cum Rugis, ultimaque eos clade conficiens, Feletheum insuper eorum regem extinxit; vastataque omni provincia, Italiam repetens, copiosam secum captivorum multitudinem abduxit. Tunc Langobardi de suis regionibus egressi, venerunt in Rugiland, quae latino eloquio Rugorum patria dicitur, atque in ea, quia erat solo fertilis, aliquantis commorati sunt annis.
Translation	This Feletheus dwelt in those days on the further shore of the Danube, which the Danube itself separates from the territories of Noricum. In these territories of the Noricans at that time was the monastery of the blessed Severinus [...] Odoacar then, having collected together the nations which were subject to his sovereignty, that is the Turcilingi and the Heroli and the portion of the Rugii he already possessed and also the peoples of Italy, came into Rugiland and fought with the Rugii, and sweeping them away in final defeat he destroyed also Feletheus their king, and after the whole province was devastated, he returned to Italy and carried off with him an abundant multitude of captives. Then the Langobards, having moved out of their own territories, came into Rugiland, which is called in the Latin tongue the country of the Rugii, and because it was fertile in soil they remained in it a number of years.
Summary	In these days, the king of the Rugians, Feletheus, lived on the northern side of the Danube, opposite of Noricum, where the monastery of the saint Severin was situated. Then Odoacer collected all gentes that were his subjects, that is Trucilingi, Heruli and the Rugi from Rugiland (after having defeated and killed king Feletheus) and went with them to Italy. Now the Lombards moved into Rugiland.
