Translation
That which Trajan colonized in the regions on the other side of the Istrus.1 And Aurelian abandoned this [region], once the region of the Illyrians and the Mysians had become afflicted [sc. by the Goths], thinking that it would be impossible to save the [region], which was cut off on the other side in the midst of rivers. Therefore, leading away the Romans who had been settled there, out of the cities and the fields, he established them in the middle of Mysia, having named the region "Dacia"; it now lies between the two Mysiae and divides them from one another.2
