Translation
A Frank, who was fierce as flame from1 strength of body and ruggedness of spirit; by happenstance second in rank to Baudo.2 He was especially solid and complete in regard to self-control and made war on money, giving no quarter--for3 he was no different from the common soldiers in terms of wealth at least. For this reason he seemed useful to the emperor Theodosius,4 since he added to the manly and just manner of Valentinian5 his own gravity, as a just and unswerving standard for the palace, not to do harm or wrong in any matters of the court.
