Egressi exinde proxima nocte, Charcbam occupavimus locum, ideo tuti, quod riparum aggeribus humana manu instructis, ne Saraceni deinceps Assyriam persultarent, nostrorum agmina nullus ut ante vexabat.
Then we set out on the following night and took possession of the place called Charcha; here we were safe because there were mounds along the banks, constructed by mens hands to prevent the Saracens from continually making raids on Assyria, and no one harassed our lines, as had been done before this.
