Quotation Hic ob amorem Flauie, nobilissime uirginis illi apud Africam ante sumpto imperio disponsate et iussu Foce principis ex Libie finibus Constantinopolim deportate […] sed Eraclius ab Africa nauli ascendens collegio ad regiam usque ocius peruenit nauigando. Quem aliquantulum obsistentem in bello Focam Bizantio captum flammigero feriunt gladio.
Translation He did so on account of love for the noblest virgin Flavia, who had been betrothed to him in Africa before he assumed control of the empire and had been deported by order of the princeps Foca from the borders of Libya to Constantinople [...] But Eraclius, setting out from Africa with a group of ships, came all the way to the royal capital more quickly by sailing. Foca, who resisted somewhat in war, was captured in Byzantium. They then struck him with the flaming sword. (Al-Tamimi, trans., “The Mozarabic Chronicle”, 2019)
