Eo anno iterum Langobardi in Vallem ingressi sunt et Clusas obtinuerunt et in monasterium sanctorum Acaunensium diebus multis habitaverunt: et postea in Baccis pugnam contra exercitum Francorum commiserunt, ubi paene ad integrum interfecti sunt, pauci fuga liberati.
'In this year, the Lombards again invaded Valais and took possession of Clusae. They lived in the monastery of the saints of Agaune for many days, and afterwards engaged the army of the Franks in battle at Bex, where they were killed almost to a man; a few escaped by flight.'
Text: Mommsen 1894, 239. Translation: Murray 2000, 107.
