Quotation [...] Tripolim uenit, Cidamis quoque et Elemptien bellando adgressus est, et post multas desolationes effectas uel diuersas patrias uictas atque prouincias uastas edomitas sibe plurimas katerbas in fide acceptas adhuc sanguinem sitiens Africam aduentabit cum omnes preliatorum falangas. Preparata igitur certamina, ilico in fugam Maurorum est acies uersa et omnis decoritas Africe cum Gregorio comite usque ad internicionem deleta est. Abdella quoque, honustus beneficio largo, cum omnibus suis coortibus remeando Egiptum peruenit Mauia peragente decimo regni sui anno.
Translation He came to Tripoli, and attacked through warfare Cimdamis and Elempties. After many desolations, the conquest of various lands, devastation of provinces and the bringing of very many bands of people into allegiance, he was still thirsty for blood and arrived in Africa with all the contingents of warriors. With the preparations for the battles made, the battle-line of the Moors was thence put to flight and all the nobility of Africa with Count Gregorius was destroyed to the point of extermination. Also Abdella, burdened with large benefits returned back to Egypt along with all his cohort, while Mauia was completing the tenth year of his rule.
