Text Chronica Anni 754 Vel Chronica Muzarabica (754 - 754) Anonymous - History
Quotation Sed cotidie eorum incrassante iugulo, ita in Romanis legionibus irruit timor ut, apud Gabatam oppidum commiso belligerio, exercitus funditus lesus et Theudorus necatus migraret a seculo. Tunc Sarraceni de tanta nobilium strage firmiter certi, metu excusso, apud Damascum, splendidissimam Sirie urbem conscendunt in regno.
Translation But as their slaughter grew daily the Roman legions became so afraid that with battle committed at the town of Gabata the army was entirely routed and Theodorus was killed and departed from this world. Then the Saracens, thoroughly certain of such great slaughter of the nobles and with fear shaken off, established a realm in Damascus, the most splendid city of Syria. (Al-Tamimi, trans., “The Mozarabic Chronicle”, 2019)
Summary Here the chronicle recounts the death of Theodorus, the conquests of the Sarracens.
