non enim potest umquam civicis pectoribus elabi, quem te quantumque nuper omnis aetas ordo sexus e semirutis murorum aggeribus conspicabantur, cum interiectis aequoribus in adversum perambulatis et vix duodeviginti equitum sodalitate comitatus aliquot milia Gothorum non minus die quam campo medio, quod difficile sit posteritas creditura, transisti.
For never can the hearts of our citizens cease to cherish the memory of the noble and great man they beheld in you, as every age and class and both sexes watched you from the ruined ramparts not long ago, when you traversed with no backward look the level ground that intervened, and with a following of barely eighteen mounted comrades you made your way through several thousands of Goths not merely in the middle of the day, but in the middle of an open plain'an achievement such as posterity will hardly credit.
