Translation (107) After taking Carthage by a great stratagem on 19 October, King Gaiseric invaded all of Africa. (108) In a war against the Goths under King Theoderic in Tolosa, Litorius, a Roman dux, rather recklessly rushed into battle with an auxiliary troop of Huns. But when they had been slaughtered, he himself was wounded, captured, and then put to death a few days later. (109) Peace was established between the Romans and the Goths. (110) With overweening impiety King Gaiseric drove the bishop and clergy of carthage from that city and, as was prophesied by Daniel, corrupted the ministeries of the holy places and handed over the orthodox churches to the Arians. (111) Rechila, the king of the Sueves, entered Emerita.
