"Et Hengistus omni familiae suae jussit et unusquisque artavum suum sub pede in medio ficonis sui poneret: "Et quando clamavero ad vos et dixero Eu, nimet saxas!, cultellos vestros ex ficonibus vestris educite, et in illos irruite, et fortiter contra illos resistite…" Et conventum adduxerunt, et in unum convenerunt, et Saxones, amicialiter locuti, in mente interim vulpicino more agebant, et vir juxta virum socialiter sederunt. Hengistus, sicut dixerat, vociferatus est, et omnes seniores trecenti Guorthigirni regis jugulati sunt."
