Translation […] He also nearly destroyed the islands and conquered the borders of India through devastation. He reduced cities to contemptible poverty and afflicted fortresses with siege. He subjugated all of Mauritania through the bends of Libya. Also in the western parts, attacking through the general of his army called Muze, he conquered the kingdom of the Goths and made the land a tributary after removing the kingdom. The kingdom was of old and stood solidly through some 350 years, made lasting from the 400th era from the outset and its own beginning, stretched out peacefully over the Spanish lands from the time of Liuvigildus through some 140 years all the way into era 750 [712 CE].
