Introduction: the Huns (1–12)
| A third part of the world is called Europe, brothers: | |
| By customs, tongues and name dividing various peoples, | |
| Then separating them by their religious practice. | |
| Among them lived the people of Pannonia, | |
| 5 | Whom we are generally accustomed to call Huns. |
| This brave folk flourished both by courage and by arms; | |
| Subduing not just those lands which surrounded theirs, | |
| They had extended even to the seashore’s limits; | |
| They granted pacts to suppliants, but crushed resisters. | |
| 10 | They held sway, it is said, more than a thousand years. |
