Quotation Sueui sub Hermerico rege medias partes Gallaciae depraedantes per plebem quae castella tutiora retinebat acta suorum partim caede, partim captiuitate, pacem quam ruperant familiarum que tenebantur redhibitione restaurant. (...) Rursum Sueui initam cum Callicis pacem libata sibi occasione conturbant; ob quorum depraedationem Ydatius episcopus ad Aetium ducem, qui expeditionem agebat in Gailis, suscipit legationem.
Translation The Sueves under King Hermeric pillaged the central areas of Gallaecia but when some of their men were slaughtered and others captured by the people who remained in possession of the more secure forts, they renewed the peace treaty which they had broken by returning the families who they had captured from holding. (...) As soon as the opportunity presented itself, Seueves again broke the peace treaty which they had entered into with the Gallaeci. Because of their pillaging, the bishop Hydatius undertook an embassy to the dux Aetius, who was conducting a campaign in Gaul.
