Res Gestae

After these achievements in the savages’ country, the camp

was moved to Bregetio,[*](Apparently Flecken Szöny in Hungary, not far from Komorn.) to the end that there also tears or blood might quench what was left of the war of the Quadi, who were astir in those regions. Then their prince Vitrodorus, son of King Viduarius, and Agilimundus, his vassal, along with other nobles and officials[*](For this meaning of iudices see Index of Officials, s.v.) governing various nations, seeing the army in the heart of their kingdom and native soil, prostrated themselves before the marching soldiers, and having gained pardon, did what was ordered, giving their children as hostages by way of pledge that they would fulfil the conditions imposed upon them. Then, drawing their swords, which they venerate as gods, they swore that they would remain loyal.
