'''e. How Punishment Came'''

'''[[207|207.14]]''' See here how punishment came:

Once, they together conquered a whole fleet from out of the Middle Sea. The ships were loaded with purple cloth and other valuables that all came from Phoenicia. The weak members of the crews were put ashore south of the Seine, but the strong were held to serve as slaves. The best looking were made to serve ashore, while the unsightliest and swarthiest were kept on board to row on the benches. At the Flee, the booty was meted out — but, so too, unbeknownst to them, was their punishment. Of the men stationed on the foreign ships, six died of pain in the belly. It was believed that the food and drink were tainted, so all of it was '''[[208|[208]]]''' dumped overboard. But the belly pain continued to strike. And anywhere slaves or goods arrived, so too did the belly pain.<ref>This could refer to the [[wikipedia:Plague_of_Justinian|Justinianic plague]] in the mid-sixth century (Scaligerian chronology). Compare: the [[wikipedia:Black_Death|Black Death]] of the mid-14<sup>th</sup> century.</ref> The Saxmen brought it over their marks; with the Jutters it sailed to Skeanland and along the shores of the Baltic Sea; with Askar’s navigators it was spread to Britannia.

We, and those from Greanega, accepted neither goods nor people into our territory, and so we remained free from the belly pain. How many people died of belly pain I cannot tell; but Prontlik, who heard it later from the other mothers, informed me that Askar had lost a thousandfold more free people from his states than the number of foul slaves he had brought in.
