Quotation Gundericus rex Vandalorum capta Ispali cum impie elatus manus in ecclesiam ciuitatis ipsius extendisset, mox dei iudicio demone correptus interiit; cui Gaisericus frater succedit in regno, qui, ut aliquorum relatio habuit, effectus apostata de fide catholica in Arrianam dictus est transisse perfidiam.
Translation Gunderic, the king of the Vandals, captured Hispalis, but soon after, when with overweening impiety he tried to lay hands on the church of that very city, by the will of God he was seized by a demon and died. His brother Gaiseric succeeded him as king. There is a story which some relate that Gaiseric converted from the orthodox faith to the Arian heresy, thereby becoming an apostate.
