Nepotianus recedit e corpore. Frumario mortuo Remismundus omnibus Sueuis in suam ditionem regali iure reuocatis pacem reformat elabsam. Mense Maio supradicti uiri Egidi ligati per Oceanum ad Vandolos transeunt, qui eodem cursu Septembri mensi reuertuntur ad suos. XIII kal. Aug., die secunda feria, in speciem lunae quintae sol de lumine suo ab hora tertia in horam sextam cernitur minoratus. Legatos Remismundus mittit ad Theudoricum, qui similiter suoas ad Remismundum remittit, cum armorum adiectione uel munerum directa et coniunge quam haberet. Vandali per Marcellinum in Sicilia caesi effugantur ex ea. |
| Translation |
Nepotianus departed from his body. Upon the death of frumarius, Remismund, by his right as king, brought all the Sueves back under his sovereignty and restored the peace that had lapsed. (220) Envoys of the above-mentioned Aegidius crossed to the Vandals via Ocean in May, returning home by the same route in September. (221) On Monday, 20 July, from the third hour to the sixth, the sun was perceived to be diminished in its light to the appearance of the moon on the fifth day. (221) Remismund sent envoys to Theoderic, who likewise sent his own in return to Remismund and included [with his delegation] not only weapons and gifts, but also Remismund's wife, whom he had been keeping. Marcellinus slaughtered the Vandals in Sicily and put them to flight from the island. |
