Quin et iisdem temporibus fames Constantinopolim invasit: nec mora pestis secuta est; sed et plurimi eiusdem urbis muri cum quinquaginta septem turribus corruerunt; multis quoque civitatibus conlapsis fames et aerum pestifer odor plura hominum milia iumentorumque delevit.
Moreover, too, about the same time a famine attacked Constantinople, and without pause followed the pestilence; further, too, a great part of the walls of the said city fell to the ground with 57 towers; many cities too being overthrown with earthquake, hunger and the pestilential stench of the air destroyed yet more thousands of men and beasts.
