357:[On the 7th day since the fog was Lombé, the king having sent the daÿäzmaäè Demyanos, went towards Dabot, destroyed the fortress and plundered all the objects (wealth). For the Peasants: could not oppose him any more resistance than the reed to the burning fire. On the 8th day after the darkness of the fog, when the sun shone again as usual and the fog was dispersed, all the leaders came out of the camp, ready to make war on the order of the King of kings A'läf Sagad. The daigaz mas Demyahos and the Zan serär Hawaryä having both united, separating from the chiefs, put the Peasants to flight and made them abandon the houses built on the slope of the mountain, whose name is Maskot. , which earlier chiefs and kings who became famous had failed to win. After having dispersed the Peasants, like the smoke or the ashes of a furnace, they burned the houses of this country of Maskot, whose road is narrow and constricted. Some of the combatants found tents, others brought trumpets; the other riches found were innumerable. Then the majesty of the King of kings A'Iaf Sagad terrified all the inhabitants of Laslä, like a terrible lion or a bear that has given birth.] 355:
ténèbres du brouillard, lorsque le soleil resplendit de nouveau comme d'ordinaire et que le brouillard fut dispersé, tous les chefs sortirent du camp, prêts à faire la guerre sur l'ordre du Roi des rois A'läf Sagad. Le daigaz mas Demya- hos et le Zan serär Hawaryä s'étant réunis tous les deux, en se séparant des chefs, mirent en fuite les Paysans et leur firent aban- donner les maisons bâties sur le versant du mont, dont le nom est Maskot, que les chefs antérieurs et les rois devenus fameux n'avaient pas réussi à gagner. Après avoir dispersé les Paysans, comme la : fumée ou les cendres d'une fournaise, ils brûlèrent les maisons de ce pays de Maskot, dont la route est étroite et resserrée. Qüelques- uns des combattants trouvèrent des tentes, d'autres apportèrent des trompettes; les autres richesses trouvées étaient innombrables. Alors la majesté du Roi des rois A'Iaf Sagad épouvanta tous les habi- tants du Laslä, comme un lion terrible ou une ourse qui a mis bas.
