| Quotation |
Ambrones fuerunt gens quaedam Gallica, qui subita inundatione maris cum amisissent sedes suas rapinis et praedationibus se suosque alere coeperunt. Eos et Cymbros Theotonesque Gaius Marius delevit. Ex quo tractum est ut turpis vitae homines Ambrones dicerentur. |
| Translation |
The Ambrones were a Gaulish people. When they lost their homeland due to sudden flooding from the sea, they began to sustain themselves and their families by raiding. Gaius Marius destroyed them and the Cimri and Teutones. From this it arose that men of wicked lifestyle are called Ambrones. (Trans. Laura Gazzoli) |

The source of this gloss is the work "De verborum significatu" by Sextus Pompeius Festus, known to the Carolingians most probably only through the Epitome which Paul the Deacon accomplished before 799 and dedicated to Charlemagne. |
