Quotation	…Tunc Abdirrahaman supra fatum Eudonem ducem insequens, dum Turniensem ecclesiam palatia diruendo et eclesias ustulando depredare desiderat, cum consulem [Francie interioris] Austrie nomine Carrulum, uirum ab ineunte etate belligerum et rei militaris expertum, ab Eudone premonitum, sese infrontat… Et exurgentes e uagina sua diluculo, prospiciunt Europenses Arabum temtoria ordinata [et] tabernaculorum ut fuerant castra locata; nescientes cuncta esse peruacua et putantes ab intimo esse Saracenorum falangas ad prelium preparatas, mittentes exploratorum officia cuncta reppererunt Smahelitarum agmina effugata.
Translation	…Then Abdirrahman pursued the aforementioned leader Eudo, and while he wished to plunder the diocese of Tours in destroying the palaces and burning the churches, he found himself in an encounter with the consul of Austria called Carrulus, a war-like man from an early age and an expert of military matters who had been warned beforehand by Eudo… Immediately at nightfall as the battle broke up they despicably sheathed their swords as they saw the innumerable camp of the Arabs and so they spared themselves for the fight on another day. And rising from their camp at daybreak, the Europeans looked at the ordered tents of the Arabs and tabernacles where the camp had been placed. They did not know that all things were empty and thought that the battalions of the Saracens were prepared from the innermost for the battle. Sending forth all ranks of scouts, they found the columns of the Hismahelites had fled. They had fled home quickly in the night with drawn formation. (Al-Tamimi, trans., “The Mozarabic Chronicle”, 2019)
