| Quotation |
Placida mater eius augusta nuncupatur.
Effera gens vandalorum, halanorum, et gothorum, ab hispaniis ad africam transiens, omnia ferro
flamma rapinis simul et arriana impietate foedauit.
Sed beatus augustinus hipponiensis episcopus et omnium doctor eximius ecclesiarum, ne ciuitatis
suae ruinam uideret, tertio obsidionis eius mense migrauit ad dominum, v kal. sept., cum uixisset
annos lxxvi, in clericatu autem uel episcopatu annos ferme xl complesset. |
| Translation |
His [Valentinian's] mother [Galla] Placidia was called Augusta.The ferocious race of the Vandals, the Alans, and the Goths, crossing from Spain into Africa, ravaged everything with fire, sword, rapine, and the Arian heresy. But the blessed Bishop Augustine of Hippo, the fore-most doctor of the Church, lest he see the ruin of his city, went to the Lord on the 5th kalends of September in the third month of the siege, having lived for seventy-six years and having completed nearly forty years in holy orders and as a bishop.
