그러므로 폐하의 조상들이 간직해 온 역사적 기록을 한번 살펴보십시오. 그러면 폐하께서는 이 성이 옛날부터 항상 반역을 일삼고 황제들과 지방 장관들에게 얼마나 말썽을 많이 일으켰는지 아시게 될 것입니다. 이 성이 망하게 된 것도 바로 그런 이유 때문이었습니다.

Wij stellen u voor dat u de oude archieven er eens op naslaat. Dan zult u ontdekken dat deze stad sinds mensenheugenis bekend staat om haar opstandigheid. U zult lezen dat zij verschillende koningen en gebieden schade heeft toegebracht, dat is ook de reden, waarom zij destijds werd verwoest.

Să se cerceteze deci în cartea cronicilor părinţilor tăi! În cartea cronicilor vei găsi scris şi vei afla că cetatea aceasta a fost o cetate răzvrătită, din cauza căreia au avut de suferit regi şi provincii şi în mijlocul căreia s-au iscat răscoale încă din vremuri străvechi. Din acest motiv a şi fost pustiită cetatea aceasta.
