tantum differre et ab uno ferminonum porulo omnes trans
renanos dictos Hermanos vel permanos, quod illi scilicet

tibus, quod tamen si ipsius laciti loco alteri credimus ab

lasito in mente fuisse nondiveret nulo indicio apparet. ut
alia taceam. redibile est Germaniae appellationem prius
Gallis quam Romanis fuisse notam, non ergo a militibus
