English

Meanwhile the leaders lbor and Aio, who had conducted the Langobards from Scadinavia and had ruled them up to this time, being dead, the Langobards, now unwilling to remain longer under mere chiefs (dukes) ordained a king for themselves like other nations. Therefore Agelmund, the son of Aio first reigned over them 3 tracing out of his pedigree the stock of the Gungingi which among them was esteemed particularly noble. He held the sovereignty of the Langobards, as is reported by our ancestors, for thirty years.  


Latin

Mortuis[1] interea Ibor et Agione ducibus, qui Langobardos[2] a Scadinavia[3] eduxerant[4] et usque ad haec tempora rexerant[5], nolentes iam ultra Langobardi esse sub ducibus, regem sibi ad ceterarum instar gentium statuerunt. Regnavit igitur super eos primus[6] Agelmund[7], filius Agionis, ex prosapia[8] ducens originem Gungingorum[9], quae apud eos generosior habebatur. Hic, sicut a maioribus traditur, tribus et triginta annis Langobardorum tenuit regnum[10].
