Text Historia persecutionis Africanae provinciae (475 - 489) Victor of Vita
Quotation Praeterea praecipere nequaquam cunctatus est Wandalis, ut episcopus atque laicos nobiles de suis ecclesiis vel sedibus nudos penitus aufugarent: quodsi optione proposita exire tardarent, servi perpetui remanerent. Quod etiam in plurimis factum est: multos enim episcopos et laicos, claros atque honoratos viros, servos esse novimus Wandalorum.
Translation 14 Moreover Geiseric was by no means slow to enjoin the vandals to put bishops and noble laity to flight from their churches and residences, completely naked. And if they were slow to leave when given the choice, they were to stay behind as perpetual slaves. This is something which happened to many people, for we know of many bishops and laity, clari and honorati, who are slaves of the Vandals.
